    Wow! Amazing detail! Your dragonfly beats mine! :-( But that's OK....I was just happy to get a shot of a dragonfly. I was IN the bedroom on the computer, and I saw him from the window on that stake by the lima beans, and I thought--no way. If I go outside with my camera, by the time I get out there, he'll be gone. Yet, he stayed, and I got two pretty good shots! :-) I'm still reeling from seeing the tarantula, though! He was out of focus, but you can bet I took that picture kind've fast and moved on! :-)

    Well done, Carletta--especially appreciate the delicacy of the wingspan. That twig must have been delicious--or you worked really fast.

    Nice shot. I didn't get any dragonfly pics this year. Did you know that they can't walk? They can only use their legs to land.
