We went outside so she could take of business. I glanced over at the flowering plants and there was a yellow and black dragonfly.<br /><br />I had not seen a dragonfly since I was a child--and maybe then, only out camping or hiking. I spied it for awhile then we went for our walk.<br /><br />We we came back and took care of Sierra's after walk treat. I then went outside to see if it was still there. It was! I was delighted at my good fortune and hurried inside to get my camera. I don't usually get great photos of bugs and things, but I gave it a try anyway.<br /><br />The dragonfly was sitting on one of the big, green leaves waiting for me. It must have known that I am a slow mover. <br /><br />I had one of those dragonfly eyes a few years back. I wondered if he saw a hundred of me approaching. I fixed my camera settings and took a couple of shots.<br /><br />This is the results of my endeavor...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/504/1362/1600/dragonfly.0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/504/1362/320/dragonfly.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Not bad for an amateur. Nice pose there, dragonfly!Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13311557694307825428noreply@blogger.com
