Wonderful background color to contrast with the dragonfly, Betty. Beautiful! Congratulations on your sale.
Betty LaRue replied:
Thanks, Carolyn. Interesting story here. I'd gone to a neighbor's house to see the tiny pond he installed in his back yard. This dragonfly landed right in front of me. I raced home, got my Nikon, and he waited for his portrait opportunity. LOL!
Thomas R Fletcher
Great capture. I find these guys to be tough subjects. Congratulations on your sale.
Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you, Thomas. I chased these all summer, and finally one let me approach in my back yard. Normally they were just zooming through the air chasing bugs.

Awesome macro....He's a beauty :)

Thank you, Lori! These are fun to photograph, if one has good sneaking-up technique, lol!
