Frost’s Bolete? Mushroom, Mousam River Preserve of the Kennebunk Land Trust, Kennebunk, Maine, USA, August 2024 — I would not bet my life on any mushroom ID I make, so this could be something else. They were abundant along the edge of the marsh at the Mousam River Preserve when I visited. I am practicing my near macro skills. 🙂 Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 75mm equivalent. Program mode with my macro modifications. f10 (for depth of field) @ 1/15th second, hand held. Processed in Photomator.

Widow Skimmer: Roger’s Pond Park, Kennebunk, Maine, USA, August 2024 — One of my favorite dragonflies, the Widow Skimmer. There are generally a few around the edges of Roger’s Pond when I visit this time of year. This is a well developed male with the pruinescence (white waxy spots) on wings.
