Y'all prompted me to process and load some of my dragon/damselfly pix. My husband does not understand how I can get preoccupied photographing mere bugs, but some of these guys are GORGEOUS. I even know the names of a few of them (scientific, not like, "John" or something ... sorry, I make bad jokes when I'm tired, and it's been a busy weekend).
  
  
Secrets to photographing them ... long fast lens, hanging out near watery places with lots of vegetation (like swamps), and lots of patience! |

Widow Skimmer
I had my four-year old with me yesterday. I had gotten him a cheap digital camera so that he could take pictures "like Mommy", but while I was getting shots of this dragonfly, he proceeded to remove the rechargable batteries and toss them in the tall brush. Little chance of finding them, either. |

These are currently my top three highest scores (my Free Study entry my slot in between two of them going by the score as it is now). |

Lots of damselflies here, they are not dragonflies. Here are 2, a bluish one and a brownish one.
