Yesterday evening, 24 March 2016, we had a mix of snow and rain falling and I felt like finding something bright and cheery to post this morning. At least in my area of the city, no snow had settled anywhere, which was a relief. The ground is wet, which is desperately needed, especially for farmers. The temperature is 4C and the sky is a mix of cloud and small patches of blue sky. The next two days look good (Easter weekend), but mixed precipitation is in the forecast for the coming week. This photo of a delicate Damselfy on an opening Lily bud was taken at the Reader Rock Garden, on 14 August 2013.

Just a delicate damselfly that happened to fly into my back yard and land on my fence. Came across this old photo last night when I was looking through a folder of images to maybe post to Flickr. I really need to go through my more recent photos and will do so after a quick break from Northern Pygmy-owl and old barn photos : ) It's only -4C (windchill -8C) this morning, 1 March 2015, so I might just go for a bird walk with friends. Looks like the forecast is for some snow tonight, so I know I should make the most of the sunshine today. So far, next week is looking pretty good weather-wise.

Taken on a really dull day, weatherwise, while on a bird walk. I seem to remember that we saw quite a few species, but everything was so far away - way out of reach for my zoom. A close (and rather "noisy") photo of this ordinary little Damselfly made my day, though : )
