More Insects from the Pond Store

I finally got out and took some photos after a few weeks. It is so hot that there are no critters about. I've been back out twice looking for the kingfisher and didn't find him nor any of the birds that I saw that day. Things become rather dessolate. But today I found some bees and butterflies at the pond shop. A few of them I think are rather good.

It really would help my mental perspective if folks would subscribe and comment.

Belted Kingfisher and other birds at YMCA (Twin Lakes)

Please subscribe and comment. It would help me in a number of ways. I believe that if you have an account on any of Google's platforms, you can just log in, subscribe, and then add comments.

There is a Belted Kingfisher at YMCA Twin Lakes that I've seen sitting in a particular tree. I've tried to sneak up on it but haven't succeeded. Today, he was sitting on the power line that runs across the lake. It was far off even with my 800mm f/11 lens so the image is heavily cropped. The other images are a dragonfly, Great Egret, and a Western Kingbird.
