Description

Was not sure about posting any of the shots I took out in the rain as tropical storm Alberto was blowing by, but decided to go ahead and post this one. The rain had this dragonfly grounded so that I could photograph him but the extreme overcast conditions and rain made it especially difficult to get a good shot. Thank you for your much appreciated comments on my "Beautiful Perch" series! Hope everyone has a wonderful evening! Wendy

This is just so unreal! Sooooo close and huge! A very beautiful shot, and especially well done considering that your studio light (the sun) was so dim!

I have to give credit where credit is due: nobody does it half as good (well, maybe that's a little unfair to the others LOL). Incredible stuff again! You really got this in your fingers (and in your cam), and I don't see the weather conditions to be a problem for ya either. Bravo!

Once again you have me shaking my head in wonderment. Girl you really got in close for this one. I love how there are little droplets of water resting on it's thorax and legs. I'm glad to see you made it through Alberto OK. We just got a lot of rain up here in SC. We needed it though, so I'm not complaining. Great shot, Wendy. I'm very impressed!!!
