It's fun to photograph the insect life along the trails in Colorado Springs. I'm no expert but I think it's a Blue-Eyed Darner dragonfly.

It seems ravens have also learned that Banff National Park scenic overlooks are a great place to hang out. This bird walked up to each vehicle as they arrived but would quickly move on when he realizes which tourist actually read the "do not feed the animals" sign. 😂 #Birds, #Nature, #Photography
