Time for Sunsets

Some of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen here in California have come in October as the rainy season begins. The skies are often filled with clouds, which make for colorful sunsets.

Flying Insects

Here are some flying insects. I was searching for inspiration for a post and ran across a picture that started me thinking about flying insects.

Trithemis kirbyi dragonfly at the Spring of Harod - Gideon's SpringI like this scarlet dragonfly that I saw at the Spring of Harod in Israel.

Dragon Fly - Coca-Cola Umbrella - Fauna - Where in the worldHere is another dragonfly from Israel. I took this picture at Caesarea Maritima. This one is not as colorful as the previous one.

yellow jacket, wasp, front yard, insectsI took this picture of a Yellow Jacket in my front yard long ago.

Papilio rutulus, western tiger swallowtail, butterflyHere is a Western Tiger Swallowtail (papilio rutulus) in my backyard.

Flying Bee, Karaman Museum, Karaman Turkey, Flora and FaunaHere is a bee that I captured an image of at a museum in Karaman, Turkey. I got some good bee pictures when I took a tour of Turkey.

Which do you like best?
