My first capture of a Dragonfly this year. They were very active, and I had to be patient and quick on the click!

Used the canon 70-300 IS USM lens, hand held. The image has been cropped.This was taken after a storm had passed by,note the water drops.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

I really like the background of this picture Sandi. Very nice macro. These little Dragons aren't easy to take pictures of. Congratulations on your first capture

I saw one just like that last week, but it never landed on anything. Very nice color and clarity, Sandi.

The ones I have seen are moving nonstop Tigz. You were lucky to get such a good, clear shot. I like the multi-colors on this beauty. Good quick click.
