I have been telling her about the new trails and all the work they have been doing to improve access, and how much I have enjoyed finding new dragonflies in the meadows there. She wanted to see, so we spent the afternoon exploring. I got out of the car, literally, just in time to see a Black-tipped Darner land for a photo op, and moments later, this Mourning Cloak fluttered into the path to warm itself. It was up and away before I could photograph it, but it returned several times to the path, eventually landing practically on my foot. It is a very well worn bug, clearly in its last few days of flight. I hope it had a good summer.<\/p>\n<p>Canon SX50HS at 1800mm equivalent field of view. f6.5 @ 1\/1000th @ ISO 320.
