Sunrise - Sunset Series

As I was doing permanent night Ops in a Rhino Anti Poaching Unit I saw a LOT of sunrise and sunsets. Some were spectacular and I took too many photographs for just one post. So, I thought I would share them "one a day" with you.

The place: Mabula Game Lodge. Bela Bela, South Africa.

I am also a writer, but have yet to write The Chronicles of this chapter of my life. You can however find my very first written Chronicles here, they took place, in another lifetime, many years ago.

The Chronicles of the Mexican Horse Thief I – Angola.

Dragonfly – Photos

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera (from Greek ἄνισος anisos “uneven” and πτερόν pteron, “wing”, because the hindwing is broader than the forewing). Adult dragonflies are characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches and an elongated body. Dragonflies can be mistaken for the related group, damselflies (Zygoptera), which are similar in structure, though usually lighter in build; however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold the wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen. Dragonflies are agile fliers, while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly eye has nearly 24,000 ommatidia.

Reading that, I do believe one or two here are  Damselfly!

I have not got a Short Story with a Dragonfly in it!
