Fun viewed large!

I had a pleasant time watching the skimmers zooming in threes, chasing each other around the reeds. It seemed that they were playing tag although they were actually patrolling their territory and driving the interlopers away. This one found the low slim branch much to his liking because he returned to perch on it again and again.

I hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday, the humidity has dropped considerably and that's a very good thing.
