I had been walking along the edge of the nearby swamp and marsh, poking around the big leaves, see what I could see. The plan was maybe find a tree frog or two.

No luck on that plan, however one area suddenly turned into a great find. The small guys can be incredibly fast and I’m usually not very flexible in where I can stand. The leaves would shake, when I bent over, the critter disappeared.  But I was able to get these shots.

1. The green dragonfly was at a good distance for me to catch a nice clear shot. I had a long lens which was definitely a big help.

2. As expected there were several Anole, and of course they moved like lightning. But there were enough there so the odds were if I keep shooting one would be a decent shot.

3. Last here is a common critter. Half moth, half grasshopper thingie. I will never remember their name. I almost want to say leaf hopper, but no sure enough.

When a day is slow just poke around the bushes…carefully. This is South Carolina.
