Ollie’s Pond, in Port Charlotte, Florida, is a popular birding spot. It is also one my favorite spots for dragonfly photography.<\/p>\n

This 5 acre freshwater pond in SW Florida has a nice trail all around….also a parking lot and an adjoining small patch of pine forest. Strolling with binos and camera takes about an hour around the pond.<\/p>\n

Here you can see the trail…and lots of algae over much of the water. What a great spot in our suburban neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Being fresh water and shallow, the pond is covered with algae in the warmer months. These photos were taken in early summer and later in the fall.<\/p>\n
