Description

I know.........Surprise surprise..two in one week... Caught this one earlier this summer before hubby passed away...and it's a dreary old day here in Ky...Cloudly,wet, and a tad bit cool...Hope it warms up just a bit tomorrrow for me to go pay bills........Had to put pexiglass in my car window...The deer broke it last fall..Called to find out about a replacement...$150....The pexiglass may have to do for awhile..I found the name of the dragonfly through widipekia? I got smart....It says the males are green and highly territorial...and they search high in the sky for their prey..one the like is butterflies..I had no idea on that one.........learned something new today....... Hope everyone is having a good day Thank you for all your comments and favs on my last one........and who knows I may surprise you again soon.... As usual all postwork done in PSP 9 Added usual...text, borders, adjusted color, brightness,and a few other things but since forgot... Thank you for any and all comments........and for you that also fav the image as well Love all of you all..........I can't believe I have done 2 in one week LOL...I suprised myself on this one......... Hugs n love Susan aka Blush~

This is a fantastic capture of this little critter, I didn't know they liked butterflies either and here I thought they were cute little critters, but they have a dark side. It is great that you have posted two photos in a week. I hope your new meds let you keep this up.

Outstanding macro of the handsome Dragonfly with the bamboolike segmented tail. Two in one week is quite an achievement considering your circumstances, Susan.

To look at the dragonfly in your image is dandy and it is beautiful but when one flies at me for real I suddenly look like a karate expert and sound like a screeching owl..lol.. I'm a huge coward when it comes to bugs, any kind of bug..LOL. Great capture though Sis!
