A gift from a friend who spent some time in Florida a few years ago.

Blue-ringed Dancer
A Blue-ringed Dancer dragonfly, Argia sedula. (I’m pretty sure that’s what it is, even though the dragonfly guide I have doesn’t list it.) Photo taken yesterday, just before the cold front came through.

It looks similar to the Common Blue Damselfly from Yorkshire, England or the Variable Sprite, Argiocnemis rubescens rubeola from Thailand.

Deer Skull, Sketch 031
I didn’t proportion it correctly and so the snout is a bit shorter than it should be. I’ll sketch this again to try to get the proportions right.
Eight points
Hubby found this skull in the pasture where he trains the dogs. The deer died of natural (but unknown) causes.
(My “art studio” is a couple of towels draped over a dining room chair.)

Fluffy Heron
When I went outside the other day, I noticed a big, white ball of fluff through the trees. I got my camera and it turned out to be a Great White Heron (or Great White Egret). I had some difficulty in getting this photo, as the wind was strong enough to push me around while I was trying to stand still.

It's a long story ...
