Tim and friend

We went back to Piscataway Park on the Maryland side of the Potomac River, hoping to see some ospreys or bald eagles there again, but there weren’t any of either around. There were, however, a lot of dragonflies and butterflies, one of whom took a liking to Tim. I just had a second to get this (into blinding sun) and couldn’t even step away for a fuller view, but I thought it was pretty funny, so here it is.

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Great shot Helen, that is now typical for this kind of dragonflies that they like to sit in a place like Tim's cap, by the way it looks nice, great work BVV

Funny how it hitched a ride on his cap right near the eagle embroidery. V

Great! I give him credit for letting the bug land on him. I’d be running around in circles. V
