Description

I don't know much about dragonflies, but I think these two were mating. They were flying together so I will make that assumption. I read that that courtship can be a bit rough for dragonflies. This was the best shot I could get - sorry the leaf was in the way. Zoom to see them up close. I used the 18-135 mm lens with my Canon 60D camera. I was about 4 feet away. I was surprised how sharp this turned out - cropped close in PhotoShop. Still learning the camera, but I'm so happy with it!! Thanks for stopping by or for any comments you may wish to leave. Patrish
