I don’t know why they call this a lake instead of a pond, but either way Goodson Lake is part of the amazing water flow that is known as Four Holes Swamp. On this mid-March day trees were leafing out but there wasn’t much bird or animal activity.
Yesterday I wandered by the spot where I witnessed Mating Damselflies, On Iris last April. The previous two nights had been below freezing so I was a bit surprised that there were a dozen or so tiny damselflies zipping around the edge of the pond.
It was breezy and my angle wasn’t great but I did capture this mating pair.
And this single, resting on a leaf.
Unknown species, small — maybe 1 1/2 inches long (3 to 4 cm)
