Went over to the Chinese and Japanese Gardens for a few mornings during the holidays. This area is very popular during November to December since many species of migratory birds can be spotted there. However, I did not come to find any birds. I was more interested in the smaller and less-popular creatures.

Dragonflies were one of the main insects I spotted there, especially this particular species. There were bigger Slender Skimmers but they did not give me a chance to shoot them. These dragonflies are not identified yet, but they may possibly be either Ditch Jewles or Globe Skimmers.

These dragonflies could very commonly be found anywhere near the lake or near ponds. There were both males and females, but I only managed one shot of the different gender, which was a dark orange. I'm still not sure which ones are the females and which one the males, though generally the males should be more bright and attractive.

The supposedly females were very co-operative and I managed one prefect head shot.

I think that this is a very neat thing you have going, for such an early age. Your blog is very neat, and you have some great pictures! Keep it up.

Hi Kaylie,
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Wildlife had always been my passion since young, and the moment I got a camera, I started photographing nature. Thanks!

I love your blog! I have also loved nature since I was very young, and often "copied" one of my childhood idols. I just wish I could get an amazing blog out like this one! (And also come up with the money for a good camera.) But, I should probably be thinking about school and my job for the time being. Thanks once again for getting such a great blog up! I really enjoy going through your pictures, and they never fail at making me happy.
