Description
Well, if I'm going to post one dragonfly image, I might as well post another. Here is a critter that kept me company in my garden yesterday while I was sweating away cutting, trimming and edging the lawn and plants. This dragonfly was resting on the end of a dead tendril of Hoya vine and let me get up quite close. Occasionally he would fly away, but he always returned to this spot. He moved his mouth a lot, like he was trying to tell me something, "Back off man, just back off!" Heheheh. Anyway, this is the result of many photos, most too blurry to use or with the focus too far back from the eyes. The vine was swaying in the breeze, and going in and out of shadow, so I was never sure what I would get. Handheld at a shutter speed of about 1/80 sec. ----- Many thanks for your draconian comments on my last upload, Upon The Tentacle.
