Description
I was sitting out on may patio the other morning, enjoying a cup of coffee and the outdoors, and a dragonfly decided to fly in and take a rest on one of my plants. I ran inside, grabbed my camera, and tried to sneak up on the critter, snapping a shot every few steps. It took off before I could get too close, but I suppose that doesn't matter much as I didn't have the macro lens on the camera. But this shot turned out okay.. I cropped it and put a fuzzy border around it.
The past couple of days it has been Hot! Hot!! HOT!!; Triple digit temps and humidity. Thank God for air-conditioning :)
My previous upload, "Cactus Flowers".

this is just a fabulous shot! Great capture andnice postwork!
Love dragonflies and cactus! great shot!
Full of beauty and splendid talent ! Great shot !
Splendid! We've had similar temperatures and I've had the heat-induced headaches to prove it. As for this picture: WOW! This is spectacular, elegant, beautiful, and for me, uplifting. Things are weird here in Chicago so I take great comfort in stuff like the everyday existence of insects: it's amazing how insects, plants, and larger animals tend to put things in perspective. And I love the colors in this shot, the textures and the wonderful mood of it.
how lovely this is....nice background
Splendid macro!!!!!!!!!Bravissima!V:DDD.Hugsxx
Melinda, I really love this. The composition and postwork makes this very visually appealing and very interesting. Stellar work, my dear!
Superb, melinda - you've taken a macro shot into the world of artistry. Well done.
beautiful capture Melinda... It has been HOT here too... I wait till the evenings to go out to exercise or take photos... me and the heat don't mix.
a very beautiful insect!!!! FANTASTIC picture!!!!!!
it has been years since I seen one of this breed here.very beautiful
Great catch. I've never seen one like that..it is a beauty!!
This nature shot came out pretty good considering the hasty circumstances, Melinda! I wish I could get similar insect life out where I live. I do see bees and a wasp every so often, though. As for the heat, it hit a blistering 105.1 Fahrenheit degrees in my patio today, and I live closer to the ocean than you. Summer is back with a vengeance!
great foto and catch.
