Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. Happiness is finding a dead flower! A dragonfly landed on a dead bloom on the butterfly bush. Enjoy!

I so love their little gymnastic maneuvers. Here we have a hand stand, if you can call them hands. Beautifully close and fine image quality, Thad.

Thad, to me this is the first dragonfly that smiled indeed after "Please, say cheese" was said to it, lol.

Thanks for this excellent macro, my friend.

Regards, Cornelius.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

It does look as though the dragonfly is smiling for the camera. Nice and sharp image Thad.
