Robert's Ramblings

I am not sure what these spikey things found washed along our local shore are or where they come from.

They do however remind me of the tumbleweeds from old western movies only spikier.

I've always wanted to capture a dragonfly in mid flight. I never thought my first dragonfly image would be a victim of a much larger tragedy.

I can only imagine this poor creature flew into this cobwebbed shed to escape the heat of the encroaching fire only to be caught in these black soot encrusted webs.

Mid flight being its final resting place.
