Red Rover
This fellow was far from a great shot but I loved the wing pattern that showed up. Kathy and I were working on the pond we are clearing a new path to walk about the ever pushy plants and trees we have there. This flew up. I asked Kathy if she could grab her camera as it was out of the case. I made a mistake in my hurry to capture this red dragonfly .. her camera was on A priority and also somehow the anti-shake was turned off.. Its amazing I even got two captures out of 15 that you could pass for ok.. Only if life were perfect … Ya.. So I will share this for now see what happens.. Life is to busy and I want to go play with the camera but today its a work day.. Enjoy

Dennis Rubin IPA
Great capture, Velvet. Chuck, the wing work and the lighting are outstanding!
velveteagle replied
Thank you Dennis.. The flower below and in the back ground was what worried me.. I could have changed its color so it would not over power the wing detail if you know what I mean.. But I let it go..

So kind of you Chuck! How’s the new pond coming along?
velveteagle replied
I have been on delay for a couple of days.. Too hot and steamy.. LOL.. Not in a rush so I will get the digging done on my next three days off. The earth bog will filter the baby Koi pond and it will keep it Gin clear.. Lotus absorb so much waste and add cooling shade .. Great plants. Thanks for asking..
