Why Dragonflies Point Their Tails Straight Up?

         As you can see in two of these images above the dragonflies tails are pointing straight up. You're asking "Why dragonfly do that"? The answer is that it's not just a tail, it's their abdomen. Dragonfly breathe through their abdomen. By pointing their tail straight up is their way to reduce the exposure of their abdomen to the sun. If you notice that sometimes they have a cooler looking abdomen, that means cooler air drawn in. If it looks warmer meaning warmer air drawn in.

Louisiana White Lily Flowers

                  I'm thankful to Grandma (my hubby's grandmother) who called when she saw me outside with my camera and told me about her white lilies in her garden. They are so pretty!
                  I took some macro shots and closeup shots of her beautiful lilies and picked two images to post in here. Thank you very much ,grandma!

Ermita Manila Philippines

CITYLAND building 

           CITYLAND building is located in Ermita Manila, close to ROBINSONS mall  in Ermita, Manila Philippines.

       
              I didn't have a chance to know the name of this building because my two little boys were getting tired of walking around, and I can't stand all the noise from vehicles around.....it's way to much! I"m planning to go back in 2015 and I"m gonna prepare all that, thinking to make a list of places I wanna go to. It would be very exciting!
