Beautiful capture of this dragonfly something I just dont seem to ever manage to be able to photo lol. Dave
Lori Peters replied
It was about 100 degrees and, to be honest, I was swearing as I tried to focus on this dragonfly. I tried everything and did get a few good shots. It must have set there for 10 minutes. Thank you, Dave. xo

I was a near a pond and there were so many dansel/dragonflies. I saw a lot of them fying around together. This one really seemed to like this orange flower. Thank you very much for the comment and support. xoxo

Nice shot Lori, I have tried to capture these and always fail there just to quick for this old man !
Lori Peters replied
It was about 100 degrees and I am afraid some unsavory language passed my lips as I tried to focus on the dragonfly. I got a few good shots and a lot of blurs. Still, I am thankful for the good ones. Thanks a lot, Curtiss. xo

There’s just something about dragonflies that is so attractive. They are almost friendly, seeming to avoid yet eventually gravitating toward people. Thanks for sharing this special encounter with your dragonfly friend; lovely work, Lori.
