Description

I think this is a blacktailed skimmer, if I am wrong please tell me. This is the first dragonfly shot I have ever taken. I was so excited about it. I apologise for the weight of the file size, I have tried to reduce it without success. Sun is shining in Bay, I have a busy day ahead. I hope your day is beautiful too. I thank you all for comments and favorites on "Forest Frogs". I am not receiving ebots on favorites, I do not know why not! Have a beautiful day, be happy. Hugs. Diane.

The detail on this glorious dragonfly is just breathtaking! I love how they look almost like miniature stain glass windows. :-)

Good day my friend, For me dragonflies are special bcause of their beauty and espcially because they date back to the prehistoric times. I have to admit, I still have to chase down my first dragonfly and attempt to photograph it. Have a wonderful week and thank you for sharing. egmont

WOW! Four pages of comments! It is an amazing shot! Congrats on the capture. I love the way you can see the wood right through it's wing! I always feel humbled when I see something like this. It makes me wonder why we feel so superior to the others we share this planet with. Wonderful shot, sorry for the lateness. Love to you both BJ
