Drier and drier

I sure hate watching my wildlife pond drying up in the middle of summer's rainy season. I could add water to it, but that's too risky. If I knew for sure we'd get good rains later this year, I would, but I can't know that, no matter how much I believe it.

Barely any water can be found in it, but this snake manages...  for a little while yet.

Western Black-neck Garter Snake

I don't often see a Blue-fronted Dancer at CMO, so was fortunate to get a photo of this one, although at the time, I didn't know that's what it was. Another ID by Kelly. Don't know what I'd do without him, and Brian, to ID things for me. I wouldn't be having as much fun, that's for sure.

And normally I wouldn't post yet another photo of a Widow Skimmer, but when I downloaded this one, I noticed the twigs are covered with eggs. Maybe damselfly eggs? (Click on photo to see the eggs better)
