More wetlands odds and ends....

You may get tired of seeing my wetlands in this blog, but I never tire of going there :-)  This will probably be my last post from there for awhile.

 A Blue Dasher doing his handstand.

 I don't know the names of damselflies, but this was a very tiny one.  I was looking for tree frogs but haven't found any yet this year.

The Eastern Pondhawk male on the duckweed. 

 The resident Great Blue Heron hiding in the weeds at the edge of the lake.  He didn't seem to be stalking anything.

 These mushrooms are actually in my yard, but I wanted to include them in this post.  I'm starting to see little mushrooms pop up all over the yard.

This morning the mushrooms were totally gone!  We had 3 skunks out there last night.  Do skunks eat mushrooms?  Something certainly did.

 A Question Mark butterfly being very cooperative for photos.

Same for this Red-spotted Purple Admiral. 

It gave me open and wings-up shots both!

 A female Common Whitetail, I think.

The clouds reflecting in the creek.

I don't know what this little pink flower is but it is on a very tall sprawling plant. 

Swallows up in the tree. 

And of course...turtles!  Look at the evil looking nails on those front feet. 

This one was lazily swimming around right below me. 

I think it is the same one I saw the last time with the rough shell and yellow head marks. 

On the log catching some sun. 

Running out of room. 

Thistle stuff 

Yellow flower...no idea of name.
(If anyone cares, that weird bug I posted 3-4 posts ago is a Robber Fly!  Found that out from BugGuide.net.  They are so helpful for unknown bugs.)
