Default On the hunt

After being inspired by posts on DPS, I spent the afternoon yesterday chasing dragonflies. Luckily, they seem to like all the dried-up echinacea stems in the yard.

Default Great Shots

Dragonflys are hard, they move so fast. Great shots.

Nice shots of the dragon flies. I've tried to get them before and haven't been able to get them with as nice of detail as you have. Great Job.

Martha, these are gorgeous and very sharp. I love the color on both of them, but especially the aqua and brown one. I've not seen one of those that color in these parts this year. Great images!
