papamugger > December 31, 2012 Time to lift off for the new year! captured in September in my water garden the male is hovering over his female to make sure his eggs are deposited in the pond for next years dragonfly crop. Thank you for sharing all of the great photos and replies in 2012 - Papa

papamugger > December 30, 2012 Bee very careful around this big guy! shot last fall as the bee zoomed in on one of our sage plants - best seen in the largest format

papamugger > December 29, 2012 "Curls" Sago palm fronds uncurling last spring -

papamugger > December 28, 2012 Eye on You! Common Buckeye a survivor from the first bug frost.

papamugger > December 27, 2012 Giant Swallowtail -September capture and saved in my future posts file - our weather is suddenly cold/cool and all of our flowers are gone so I think this is a great time to dip into this file to brighten things up a little.

papamugger > December 26, 2012 "Concord" Unique view of this needle shaped aircraft in the Udvar Hazy Center

papamugger > December 25 "Christmas Dragon" newly emerged from its holiday wrapping from under our tree. Merry Christmas to all

papamugger > December 21, 2012 Common Green Darner Dragonflies - Las of my shots from Tuesday's adventure at Lions Park Pond, I have made many trips to this pond hunting dragonflies but this the first time it has been this clear and provided such great reflection. The cold front going across the midwest has dropped our temps below freezing so the dragons are probably gone for the season. If you look at this photo in the largest format you can clearly see the male clasping the females eyes while she lays her eggs. Thank you for all the comments on the turtle shot yesterday.

papamugger > December 20, 2012 "Reflective Turtle" Another shot captured on my trip to the pond on Tuesday - this was my top catch of the day.
juvenile Pseudemys texana, a truly texan turtle

Looks like our warm weather is taking off for a while. I certainly enjoyed it while it was here.

papamugger > December 19, 2012 "Meadow Hawk" It was really warm yesterday so I decided to try my hand at finding a dragonfly. I found 2 different species, this one is a Meadowhawk, if winters are mild enough they can be found even in January and February.

papamugger > December 18, 2012 "Texas Color" I found this little oak in a riparian area along a Friars Creek. There is just not much local fall color in Central Texas, but I appreciate what I find. I saw several butterflies in my yard today but I resisted temptation and went after this pretty fall shot. Seven days until Santa Gets here, maybe sooner, Allison and Grayson get here on Thursday.

papamugger > December 17, 2012 "Survivor" Even after a couple of hard freezes we still have a few flowers and butterflies this late in the season. This queen is feeding on a shrimp bloom located close the front of to our home.

papamugger > December 16, 2012 "Nathaniel" and his daddy came by for a visit yesterday while his mommy did some "shopping". He love slides, swings and scarring his papa by climbing up to check out the tree house. Christmas is going to be BIG this year. We are having a great weekend, I even shot some butterflies on Saturday

papamugger > December 15, 2012 "Spirit of Tuskegee" Captured in the Udvar Hazy center for a special Daily Photo friend This being the only surviving trainer for the famous Red Tails of WWII

January 1, 2013 "Wild and Crazy" I hope your New Year in Photography is as happy and joyous as this group of butterflies (queens and monarchs) Happy New Year to all of my smugmug friends!
