Default They just gave up...

These 2 little creatures got very tired of me chasing them, that they finally landed and posed for me. I guess they figured it would be easier to just let me get it out of my system, than run from me.

I really never knew what strange looking faces dragonflies have.

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful shots, you had better luck than me I can't get them to stop in one spot long enough to focus. Love the second shot.

These are Great! Very well captured. I like the 2nd one best, as the composition and the focus are very good!
Thanks for sharing these

Really cool shots Allyson. I like the second one the most. I'll bet the neighbors got an eyeful watching you chase these insects about? Nice job... it was worth the trouble.
