The headless heron
I saw this first (one of a series of rapidly taken shots) on the computer. My first thought was something was wrong with my camera, the card, Lightroom, etc. It looked like, at first glance, as if the head was missing between the neck and the beak! It was only when I looked at full magnification that I figured it out—the "beak" was a dragon fly and the head was busy preening out of sight on the left side. :eek:

Oh, that's just way too strange. :eek: is right.
