(Be sure to enlarge to see his hairy legs.)I had arrived home and had my camera handy when this dragonfly landed on a lily branch. I got two very quick shots before it was gone. You might ask why those lily branches are chopped as such. They were actually bitten off by a little fawn that Hubs caught in the act one day. This is the first year it's happened; but it's the first year we've had so many fawns on the property. Young little nibblers they are for sure and they aren't afraid to come all the way up to the house. All I can say is that it was a perfect landing spot for the dragonfly.

Wonderful capture. I spent a couple of days chasing dragonflies to no avail. I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteI can't get a good dragon shot either. *sniff*sniff*
ReplyDeleteWish the deer would come closer to our house. Well, I think they do, but only at night.
Ah, this is such a terrific little landing spot for a beautiful creature.
ReplyDeleteYou were very fortunate to get such an amazing shot... it is beautiful.
The shots I have on my blog are so minimal to this one, this is indeed a spectacular photo!
Hugs♥
Wonderful shot!! I saw some dragons at the soccer game yesterday, but had no chance of getting such a lovely shot. Not only were they too fast and had no place to land, I was taping the game. :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you just had your camera ready ! it's such a nice shot !
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot of the elusive dragonfly.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad I don't have a photo of myself that you can enlarge to see MY hairy legs! LOL!
That's a neat shot-I'm rarely fast enough for such captures.
ReplyDeleteYou're fortunate to have lilies left; the deer around my house eat them right down to the ground! They don't like daylilies so much, but the others are dead meat, so to speak.
Oh I am so jealous! I've been chasin' those critters around all summer trying to capture one! I haven't even gotten CLOSE! That is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of those wings. Well done my friend :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the dragonfly!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot. You must have moved quickly to cacth the dragonfly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful shot. Amazing how delicate the wings on that "dragon" are... naughty fawns nibbling the garden, though.
ReplyDeleteAwesome macro - love that title!
ReplyDeleteHe's quite pretty! They can be so hard to catch1 You did good!
ReplyDeleteCarletta: That is so neat, I had two in my Buckeye Tree last week.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, Carletta. I think I would put up with the nibbling if I got to see the fawns in my yard!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful picture of the dragonfly. I really like the detail visible when it's enlarged. We've had more problems with young deer this year than we've ever had as well.
ReplyDeleteDragonflies are so very hard to capture but you did great!
