Captured this dragon at the Calendar Gardens. There is a lily pond that they just love, and there is an abundance of them.

I would like to dedicate this one to Joy(logun7) who has a birthday today. Happy BIrthday Joy!

Thank you for the views, and comments.

A really beautiful close up Sandi. The contrasting colours make it very eye catching and the detail in the insect is superb. Add the nicely blurred background and I think it all adds up to an image to be proud of.

Happy Birthday wishes to Joy - I hope you have a lovely day :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Well done again, Sandi. I love the colors on these guys. I think they have brothers everywhere. They seem to like areas of water the best. Great dof as Jan pointed out.

Right on the button once again, Sandi. The DoF and the colorful abdomen and head make this one a keeper. Change the background to brown and turn the dragonfly into a turkey vulture and this could be my home town.

Sandi, you are making me jealous with all these great dragonfly shots. All the water around here is dried up. So, you do not see many. Super shot thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday Joy. Tigz has dedicated a wonderful photo to you. I am so impressed by your consistently good posts and also your energy to keep on going. I am afraid I am lacking on both. Your dedication is second to none as is your skill.
