Default Oh Honey!

Hello DPS Family, It's been a lazy day today, I just wandered down to the school near our home and found a Few to share.

Could this be the last Dragonfly of the season? His Wings are a little tattered and worn, but he's still a handsome little fellow.

Thanks for looking and Have a Blessed Day!

Dragonflies are becoming scarce around here, too. I will be sorry to see them go. Beautiful shots, as always

Your dragonflies have inspired me. I went to the park near my home this weekend to see if I could be you. No luck. Too late in the day. Wrong lens. But not discouraged. This dragonfly says "Keep trying!". Your title with your bee shots leads to this thought: that flower, that bee...golden sweet liquid to sweeten your tea. Now that's amazing!

Great shots. I like bees 'cause bees make honey and I like honey.

These are some great shots! I tried to capture a bee on a flower the day before yesterday (got nice and close), but sadly the shots were too blurry
