Another excellent contribution to the Caedes collection of dragonfly images. I don't know how you guys get close enough without scaring them away, and even if I could do that, my camera won't cooperate. But that's why I keep coming back here. (Nice work, Ted.)
Beautiful, Ted. He's all about his business and he blends so well with his surroundings. I'd have trouble seeing him to take a snap of him. :) His pose is just great, his smile is perfect and he has a twinkle in his eye. Superb capture!
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

Just look at those thin see-trough wings, a incredible sight....
Did you see these eyes ??? it just looks like the sunglasses from Top Gun : )
Great great image once again Ted.
The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
