Description

I have seen a few but never could get close.this little guy was missing an antennae and very small.about 1 inch in width and hand held capture the captain had a change of heart and released her crew and the dragon was just lonely and wanted attention.it felt misaligned by the public. really it is a gentle creature thanks for viewing and any comments

Fantastic shot!! Feel bad he's missing an antenna- bet it makes his life harder than it should be.

This is a really cool shot. I was out taking pictures of the dogs running around yesterday and went to my flowers in hopes of getting a good shot like this and the only thing around were yellow jackets LOL
