In de natuur zijn de wijfjes bijna altijd minder opvallend van kleur. Ze zijn erg mooi en kunnen je ook boeien met hun sierlijke bewegingen. Ze doen veel goed, eten kleine insecten dus dat is fijn. Dit jaar hebben we er enorm veel, het heeft ook zo vaak geregend dus alles is optimaal.<br />Lieve groetjes,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-62071357668303498142014-08-12T19:54:35.012-04:002014-08-12T19:54:35.012-04:00Liebe Irmi,

But like you say, those hummingbirds or even my ebony jewelwing are way too fast for us. Especially my age is catching up with me I guess. I really called it quits and gave up on them!

So much easier to just snap away with my little iPhone. My 6 foot 2 almost 16 years is afraid of dragonflies. Imagine that! :) Have a terrific Tuesday.
