Hold still!

Hold still is what I wanted this dragonfly (I think it is, but it may be something else....) to do. It flitted all around, hardly touching down for a second. But I got him...and he's looking at the camera, too.

(And yes, that's sunlight you see, finally! I hope it sticks around.)

Amazing color! Dragonflies are so graceful. I also like their Italian name: LIBELLULA.

He was probably wondering, "What is this creature with one big eye?" Great shot, Bibi!

Wow! this is wild Bibi! thanks for alerting me. These guys are usually so fast, it really is amazing that you captured him.

Suburban Girl said...

Are you a teacher to inspire such discipline!!!

Serline said...

He's got his wings "closed"... does that mean he is friendly, wary or hostile?

SPRING FASHION

 This is a post that would be better in color, but maybe not. These colors were soooo pale.
