Sometimes It Just Hits Your Head

Dragonfly Hunting.  That was the order of the day.  I have been wanting to photograph these delicate creatures, and we embarked on a drive to head towards some wetlands where they are known to inhabit.  But first we took a detour along the coastline of Redwood National Park to see if we could get a glimpse of the whales feeding along the mouth of the Klamath River.  Fog over the ocean, patchy sun on the road, a quiet drive when a loud crackling sound and thud to my head.

A dragonfly had flown through the open window and was now trapped in our Jeep.  Not quite the photo opportunity I was looking for, but sometimes…

and yes.  The whales were out there too…
