A dragonfly taking a brief rest at Defries gardens, also known as the Calendar gardens.

I had a macro extension tube attached when I took this one.

Thank you for commenting, it's going to be another lovely day here, I hope it is for you too!

Excellent close-up, Sandi. I love the detail on the dragonfly & the lighting is perfect. Just started raining here ... need it though as the lawns are turning brown.

Great job, Sandi. I got some of these extension tubes some time ago, but I haven't been able to figure out quite how to use them with great success. Maybe you can give me some tips. I know I have to use manual focus, but I can't seem to adjust my aperture setting while the tube is attached. You seem to have a mastery of them now.

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. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
