Water Hazard

While this might look like an everyday duck pond this duck is actually swimming around in a water hazard for the 11th hole at Red Mountain Ranch Country Club. A sizable body of water, this pond collects numerous waterfowl and also has fish and turtles swimming around in it.

The Dragonfly

One advantage of working 3pm to 3am is that I tend to be up most of the night whether I’m working or not. Friday night into Saturday morning I stayed up all night thinking I would just head out and get some early morning shots of the moon. After that was done I wasn’t tired so I decided to venture out to Butcher Jones Recreation Area along Saguaro Lake and hike the Butcher Jones Trail. This is a relatively easy out and back hike and at its’ furthest point overlooks the lake. It was here that I noticed this singular Dragonfly sitting on a branch and, not having a proper taco lens, decided to use my telephoto to get as close as possible without disturbing it.
