Spotted this dragon fly at the Calendar gardens.

I think they are some uniquely interesting creatures.

Thank you for commenting.

They are Beautiful Critters until they hit your car. We have them down here like locust right now and they make a mess of the Grill and Windshield. Just got rid of the Love Bugs a couple of weeks ago and they are even worse.

Fine Capture of this one Sandi.

How does Richie know all that stuff? All I can say is the usual perfect shot. I particularly like the colors and the transparency of the wings showing the texture. Sharp detail work. No flaws that I can detect. Looks like a sunny day in the Midwest. Boy, did I get robbed.

Nice and sharp shot of the beautiful double winger. It looks as though it is studded with precious stones Sandi!

Very nice, Sandi. I hope you get him again when he turns blue. I hardly ever see the blue ones these days.

I suspect he would turn blue if it was colder, Tigz. :)
I like how it blends into the background.
Well spotted and shot.

They are fascinating creatures. I saw several dragonflies this morning, but they wouldn't land for me. I like how the dragonfly blends with the background ... kind of like camouflage. The lighting is perfect too. Excellent capture, Sandi.

A superb job at focus and lighting. That guy would blend right into the ground. I shot one a few weeks back and it was so transparent that I just left off posting it. You did a great job.

A good capture of the dragonfly Sandi. Nice details and focus in the photo. A slight darkening of the mid-tone contrast would cut down on highlighting.
