As they say, we were at the right place at the right time.
I got lucky as I found my first Spring dragonflies and some Snapper turtles as a bonus. This one above looks like a Russet Dropwing (Trithemis pluvialis)
For some reason this mornings post Here published after I had written only one line.
I had to go into the published post via "Edit" to complete the post and for some other reason the great post did not do well.
As they say, you win some and you lose some.
Any case, come and look at the nice surprises that we found.
I told you that I got some Snapper turtles and this guy was sunbathing.
Another of the Russet Dropwings here and their females are yellow.
This guy got a fright and was swimming away from us.
Bonus shot! Here was a Russet Dropwing and his wife in flight.
Another turtle came by at full speed hahaha.
The ideal place to hunt for the treasures that I have shown you here today, with only a soft wind blowing and the sun started baking us, so we got out of there.
It is always wonderful to see the works of the Creator and one can only stare in wonder. This day I am thankful as I got all of these nice shots to show you some natural beauty.
A pleasure that I share here with you and we hope that you will also appreciate it as much as we do,
And That's All Friends.

Amazing photos! I would like to know where you took them? I think i have seen that landscape before in Colombia😁
That russet dropwing is gorgeous! I think I have never seen one before.
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Thank you and we are in South Africa and I took the photos in the Western Cape Province.
The russets only appear here as they are endemic to our country.

i like your dragonfly photo
Thank you and I am glad that you liked the drag photo.
The Snapper Turtles were a very nice bonus, that's right, but the Dragonflies are such beautiful creatures, especially these huge which you have down there Zac, great captures as always 😃
Your weather is getting warmer and here it's colder from day to day. The temperatures didn't reach 20C today although the sun was shining.
!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Good evening Hannes,
Thank you Hannes and I don't think that I will ever forget how to take shots of dragonflies.
If you remember. I trained myself how to get dragonflies when I bought my first cheap camera and that's why they hold a special place in my heart.
We were 26C and tomorrow we will drop back to 21C. Today was our last warm day, as tonight the clouds rolled in again and the temps will stay low until the end of October.
Cheers and thanks.
Good evening Zac,
yes, I remember and I still haven't tried it, but maybe next spring or summer.
We have quite nice weather but it is pretty cold in the morning.
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Good late evening here Hannes,
Yeah, once you get into the habit of shooting dragonflies, your first clear photo will get you hooked.
I got this one yesterday sitting on a clay footpath in the hills.
Thankfully you guys are used to the cold and winter is slowly creeping up on you.
Cheers and thanks.
Good morning Zac,
they are such beautiful insects - great shot 👍
I have sold a few NFT's 😄 That's cool and I love it, but it's not the money that I got for it, it's hopefully the beginning of selling more. That's why I will have to be more on Twitter the next days and weeks. The images I sold have been quite cheap and the Gas fees were almost half of the price. So in the end I got about 0.1 ETH for 5 images. This money will be needed for minting the next NFT's anyway.
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Hi Hannes, I saw that on Twitter and yes, I am happy that you had a breakthrough at last.
Who prices your photos, as you say that they are cheap?
But even one cent is okay as at last you had a sale and now for the big ones.
Effort and hope always counts.
Cheers and thanks.
Thank you Zac 🤗
I make my prices - start low and if the photos sell I'll go up with the prices ... if they sell again 😉
Yes, the important thing is to make a sale that might be the start, but we'll see.
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Love the dragonfly close up.. I can never get these guys up close.
Thank you and it does take some skill to get them, but anyone can learn how to get the drags.
