It has already gone, Jeff! Brilliant pic of the little safety straps that hold it whilst it dries.

A fantastic up close-up macro capture Jeff but I have to tell you that Dragonfly nymphs give me the creeps even though I love dragonflies. :o)

Great shot, but I too see that he is gone! I had the same opportunity the other day but my shots turned out very poorly, but my friend Jack captured some that were fantastic and if I cannot get him to post them I will see if he will let me add them to my collage. I saw the entire emergence but did not realize exactly what was happening right away.
