*Two Dragonflies*
My husband spotted this "Pantala flavescens，ウスバキトンボ" while waiting me in the car. He/She was on the thin twig of the tree in the bakery's parking lot. Luckily he/she stayed there long enough for me to take pictures. I was amazed at the glass like head especially this kind; I realized it when I saw it on pc's screen. 3 same angles p;-)
This ”Golden-ringed dragonfly,オニヤンマ” was not alive when I found her (hubby said so) on the road in front of my house before going out for an errand. She was desiccated with surprisingly in a good condition. Now she is in my husband's hobby room getting really brownish; don't know how he would do with her p;)
The plastic model hubby built is the character of our city's industrial company.
This flower was blooming in my friend's garden taken on 25th of last month.
This White Flower looked beautiful under the sun. But she didn't know the name and
I couldn't find it through pc either. Could anyone identify the flower♪
Thank you very much for stopping by;

i like your dragonflies. i'm not sure of the flower either, but it is beautiful and full!
ReplyDeleteWe find lovely dragonflies in the least exspected places, its good that you were camera ready to take these exellent shots. I also don't know what the flower is called, but I will look in my gardening books for you.:) It is really really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend Miyako.
Warm hugs.:)
I have been spoiled with lots of dragonflies this summer! The flower is stunning, and their petals remind me of Hydrangeas, somewhat, like perhaps in the same family. Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Miyako san. The photos of dragonflies are very lovely! The usubaki tombo looks very delicate and elegant :-)
ReplyDeleteThe flower is so beautiful. What unique shape and beautiful color! I have no idea what it's called but would love to know!
Have a great weekend, Miyako san!

Dear Miyako,
ReplyDeleteHow lovely the photo of the dragonfly is with the delicate transparent wings. As for the white flower it is so pretty and not sure what it is.
Enjoy your Obon family time, does not seem that long ago when I remembered you told us of this last year.
Hugs

Your dragonflies are awesome to see. I wish I could help with the flower--I've never seen one before. The flowers look like mounds of white!
ReplyDeleteHello Miyako, I love your pretty dragonflies.. Great finds.. And your flowers do look like hydrangeas.. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing your post with Saturday's Critters..Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the dragonflies. They're gorgeous critters. The flower is very pretty. Could it be some kind of phlox? I wish you a lovely weekend! Hugs, Gunilla
ReplyDeleteoh great, your dragonflies photos are fabulous! I've no idea that flower type but it sure is beautiful
ReplyDeleteHello dear Miyako
ReplyDeleteGreat dragonfly photos.
I agree with Gunilla I think it is Phlox Paniculata - it's heavenly!
Wishing you a very happy weekend!
Hugs

I'm glad the dragonfly stayed still long enough for you to take the top three photos! I think the white flower is phlox. It looks very much like the phlox I grow in my garden.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look like phlox, but I can't tell for sure. When you search for photos of phlox online, compare the leaves too. The dragonfly is spectacular. It's one of my favorite animals. Have a nice weekend Miyako. Christa
ReplyDeleteHello Miyako!:) Just came back to say that I think the flowers are Phlox.:)
ReplyDeleteHugs.
What gorgeous photos of dragonflies and flowers ! I think, these beautiful flowers look like hydrangea.
ReplyDeleteMiyako, I wish you a nice weekend :)
Looks like some kind of phlox to me...but I've never seen white blossoms before if it IS a phlox.
ReplyDeleteGreat dragonflies, the second looks very huge.
ReplyDeleteThese are great macro shots of the dragonflies - so full of detail. The white flowers are really spectacular.
ReplyDeleteNice captures of the dragonfly, good it sat still for you.
ReplyDeleteThe white flowers are lovely, I have not seen them here.
Dearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteLovely dragonflies indeed and that white phlox is a gorgeous variety too. Just google for white phlox and you will find out which variety exactly it is. Must be fragrant I guess.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Fantastic photos of the dragonflies! Wonderful the white phlox!
ReplyDeleteI <3 dragonflies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography of nature's gems, the elegant dragonfly and unknown flower ~ wonder if that is a bamboo tree ~ Love the character your husband built ~ happy days to you Miyako ~ xoxox

Hello Miyako! Lovely photos of the dragonflies. Their heads do look glass-like as their eyes are very big so that they can see in all directions to better hunt other insects to eat. I see that you got an identification on the phlox. I had some planted but they got eaten by the deer...Michelle
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL Mikayo! Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
