Description

Nikon 7900 image. I have a number of Dragonflies who like to rest on some steps of my front porch. Usually they are Common White-tails but on occasion, other species use this spot also. I have a number of pics of them. I see them regularly but almost always, just one at a time. Therefore I was pretty happy to catch two of them at once as they shared some quality time together. While looking thru recent downloads, I got an idea. I decided to add a third Dragon to my already captured two. They had all landed on my steps and been photographed but not all at the same time. A little work with digital editing and suddenly there are three where there were once only two, lol. Kind of a time lapse manipulation, lol. The one with a white tail is a mature male Common White-Tail. The green one is either an immature male or a female Eastern Pondhawk and the remaining one is a female Common White-Tail. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

excellent manipulation Lee and macros. they are strange how they like certain areas to perch.maybe they can smell their buddys. I know they are watching for the big one like all of us!!!I am watching for a big bug for fotos anyway

Do you wonder about the conversation? Who's the big guy, and what's that thing in his hands? Did anyone see those amazing greens at the edge of the pond? Has anyone seen Gladys?
