Guest - Oct 19, 2006 09:59 PM EDT Hi Tania, Thank you for commenting. I took this one in a lemon tree in our backyard. A favorite resting place for dragonflys.

Guest - Oct 14, 2006 09:53 PM EDT Doug this is amaising the colour and detail of the dragonfly is clear and vibrant.
Guest - Oct 14, 2006 09:01 PM EDT it's beautiful
Guest - Jul 19, 2006 01:37 PM EDT Hi Busy Mom, Thank you for your kind words. The detail is the result of the Canon 180mm Macro lens. Canon's "L" series professional lenses are expensive but worth the cost.

Guest - Jun 01, 2006 11:35 PM EDT I believe you have a Flame Skimmer here. There's a great little guide for damsels and dragons called Beginner's Guide to Dragonflies by Blair Nikula, Jackie Sones and the Stokes. It's a Stokes Guide.
