Hi. :))) I hope this finds you each having a Most Beautiful weekend. My weekend started out with my children staying all nite with grand-parents which gave me a little extra time to go out in our backyard to capture some images of new flowers that has just began to bloom, and as I am walking around the back of our greenhouse this little guy flew rite past my head so I was very still to see if he would land and as you can see he did. He or she allowed me to capture three images. Maybe next time he'll land on something green in our yard. This is my first dragonfly this year and what a feeling. I wish for each this weekend to capture that one image that you have been waiting for. I wish you each Sweet Beautiful Dreams tonite. Thank you to each that has looked and commented on my images. :))))

WOW im speechless !!!! That a truly awesome capture Laura !!! Stunning work here !!! :o)) At first i though it was a Twelve-spotted Skimmer, but it turns out to be a female Common Whitetail (Libellula lydia):o) The difference between the species here (bottom of the page): http://www.stephencresswell.com/d/pulchella.html And a good comparison image of the Common Whitetail here: http://www.dragonhunter.net/libellula_lydia_f.html Congrats on this awesome capture !!! :o))
