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

Holy Cow! (And pardon my French) This is so good that it's hard to believe it's for real. There are so many details to discover here that I think I could spend hours looking at this photo and still discover something new. If it was possible I'd give this 10 stars out of 5. :-)
