Dragonfly and Rubbish

While fiddling with pc looking for the place to see dragonfly, I found this place. As you can see, lots of green around the rice paddy and good environment for dragonfly♪ 
Catch Phrase of this place is "Starting Station of  Rice Paddy and Dragonflies"

"Satoyama biotoup Futamatase"
*Entrance with the Wooden Gate*
Rhyothemis fuliginosa; we call 'cho-tonbo 蝶トンボ, butterfly dragonfly'.
Funny name but their wings are rather wide :-)
Golden-ringed dragonfly
Sympetrum uniforme 
Common skimmer 
We have different names "male→shiokara-tonbo female→mugiwara-tonbo"
C.atrata  We call 'haguro tonbo 羽黒トンボ, black winged dragonfly'

scarecrow (you have really new dress, don't you♪)

I wish these old waterwheel and bridge fit for Rubbish Tuesday.

Unknown flower I found there.
I'm linking this post to "Nature Notes"  and Rubbish Tuesday 

Thank you very much for stopping by;

  4. Dear Miyako,

    Love all the pretty dragonflies and even thought the unknown flowers looked like one too.
    The scarecrow is cute and had to look again as it looks so much like a person.
    Happy September dear friend

  10. Many lovely photo's once again Miyako. You catch some beautiful insect shots, and I always loved the ornamental gates in Japan. The one in this post is just a bit more rustic.
    By the way I didn't make my second blog public till a couple of weeks ago, it was just a personal challenge for a start but now I have decided to join in with some of the fun things happening and use that one to do it.

    Blessings from New Zealand,

  12. Oh those are lovely shots! So you also have lots of dragonflies in temperate Japan, i thought they are just happy with the tropical climates. I love that short makeshift bridge too.

    Regarding hoyas, you should read some few posts i did before this last one, i assure you they are more beautiful and more elegant than this present post. Thanks.

  16. Hi Miyako san. Wow, this is such a nice place! Love seeing all the different dragonflies. The cho-tonbo is very pretty!
    The scarecrow looks almost like a real person. I guess he (she?) gets his clothes washed regularly :-)
    The scenery with waterwheel is very calming and relaxing.

    Have a great day, Miyako san!

  20. I am amazed at the scare crow, as it looks quite different from one here in the states. I had no idea there were so many different dragonflies. That water wheel has probably run many gallons water over it's paddles. Hugs from Texas
