Abstracts: Where’s the dragonfly?

Dragonfly in a kiawe tree

I was walking through a stand of kiawes when a dragonfly jitterbugged by. I hoped it might loop back so that I could get a photo of it, but instead it headed toward the top of a tree and disappeared. I thought I saw where it went and got as close as I could, which was still a good distance away. I trained my camera in its direction and took a few photos, not sure if it was even in shot. I thought I might just be taking pictures of a twig. It wasn’t until I got home and looked at the photos that I saw I’d been right about its location all along.

Signs: What’s for breakfast then?

What's for breakfast then?A favorite sign of mine at a local state park. Among the usual warnings is the draconian limit on drinking hours. I mean, what’s a person supposed to do for breakfast? It will come as no surprise to know that the rule is routinely ignored and I doubt it’s ever been enforced.
