It's always nice when you go looking for something with no expectations....."looking for the negative" and instead of a hoped for cast skin you find the real deal!

A wonderful afternoon spent walking the fields looking for dragonflies....completely unexpected was the finding of this very special dragonfly! Most likely the only one I will ever see......

Not much in the world can get me more excited than a sparrow....this fellow was very close!

I understand that in 12 years only 3 of these have been found in Maryland...and two in one day? Very very memorable :) This is a male ......so I am told :)
