    Hi smalldot. Thanks very much.

    Hi Bob. Fortunate to find this one today sitting quietly on a path so getting close was relatively easy.

    Hi Mary. Could have used this on the other blog post if it had appeared a day earlier!

    Hi Ian. Thanks for the compliment.

    Hi Elvira. Glad you liked it.

    Have a good weekend everyone. FAB.

    Great shot. Amazing detail. :)
    I take most of my photos on Aperature Priority also. Dragonflies are so much fun to capture. I had one land on the antena of our van the other day,just after I parked, when I was out looking for them. Ha! That was funny. :)
