a wonderful set of photographs indeed!!! that one fly that you showed and said was always eating something... that is called a robber fly! One of my favorite insects, I actually had one as a pet as a kid. Yes they are quite the hunters! They usually catch their prey in midair... but they're not picky!

Robber flies are neat....I have found some that are over an inch long!!! oh, that first 'dragonfly", the blue and black one, is a damselfly, similar to dragonflies, but smaller bodies, wings held up behind their back instead of out by their side. we have some cool ones here in Utah that are a sky blue!! neat little bugs!!

Yes, it was just amazing. Never had holidays like that before. I (we, the first 5 days I was alone there) had a house at "the end of the road" far away from the next village. There is just nothing that bothers you, exclusive of wild animals. The water suply is based on a cistern system (out of a tarn) and the electricity comes through solar energy. An interesting thing on it's own for me. Ideally for a simple life and slowing down. Just a dream for me, just what I needed. But why am I talking again, decide on your own, here some shots of the house:

Have a look at the upper rocks on the right side...



...there I'm standing by taking this picture:

A lovely done place behind the house:
