Female Common Skimmer and Flowers;

             Oh My, it was almost Dream Come True☆☆☆
When we were about to curve the corner to go out for shopping a couple of days ago, my husband stopped our car spotting this Female Common Skimmer. He proudly explained me its name and males have bluish color. It seems she was resting on the fence of concrete block fence. How lucky that this sweet lady gave me enough time for me to take pictures.

Sure was a great balance training, wasn't it girl ♡♡♡


These flowers are from last time visit to our park's tropical garden with my friend;
Hibiscus with Two Colors
Medinilla Magnifica 
 Heliconia
Sorry that I forgot to check names for the last two...


I'm linking this post to "Nature Notes","TODAY'S FLOWERS" and "NF BLO-MA"
Thank you very much for stopping by, I'll visit you soon♪

    Dearest Miyako,
    Lovely macro shots of the femal dragon fly; common skimmer.
    Oh, those healthy plants look heavenly in your pictures. My former sister-in-law used to have a potplant Medinilla Magnifica in her living room!
    Sending my friend in Japan hugs and love,
    Mariette

    I'm amazed that your husband spied a dragonfly from the car! She's beautiful. Dragonflies are such beauties, and we see a lot of them camping. Beautiful shots of the flowers :) Enjoy your day Miyako! Wendy x

    Fabulous photos! The last shot of the dragonfly looks like she's posing for you with her "arm" bent and placed just so. Haha. The second to last plant looks like our shrimp plant. Have a great week dear Miyako!

    Wow the photos of dragonfly are gorgeous! She looks very elegant :-) Your husband is very knowledgeable. I didn't know you could tell it's male or felame by the color.
    And the flowers are so beautiful! I especially love Medinilla Magnifica. What an unique looking flower!

    Please take good care of yourself and don't let the summer heat take you! Have a wonderful new week, Miyako san xoxo
