What an exquisite capture, Linda! And such a delicate, beautiful shadow shot! I love it! One rarely thinks of "bugs" as being beautiful but this dragonfly is incredibly beautiful! Now, how many chances do you have to get a shot like this? Terrific! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend!

Linda ! I came in right after you to Tracy's place .. two Canucks at once : ) That is a fantastic shot of a gorgeous dragonfly !! Now how lucky was it that you had your camera and that beautiful little creature landed right there ?
ReplyDeletePERFECT !!!
Joy : )
I didn't think I'd say this about a dragonfly, but what a beautiful shot :)
ReplyDeleteDragonflies are the most elegant creatures. The four wings are quite delicate, yet give blazing speed to the insect - if he/she is in a hurry. Here it would seem not! Such beauty!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot, Linda!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture and amazing color!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing photo! I really like these little critters; they are amazing. I think of them as little helicopters. How nice that this little guy stuck around long enough to pose for you.
ReplyDeleteAlways pays to have a camera handy, you just never know, and you got a lovely shot of this dragonfly.
ReplyDeleteIt just has to be lucky that the dragonfly picked your husband! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, With the shadows it looks to have two sets of wings. Great picture. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, Nikki-Ann, EG, Lui ... thanks for stopping by for a visit.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, dragonflies are so gorgeous, it just takes patience to snap a photo of one, but this one just posed for me
Joy, great minds think alike, I always have at least 1 camera in my bag so I can capture that moment
Hi Ralph, yes this one posed perfectly for me
Hi Martha, hope you are having a good weekend, I stopped by to read your Saturday Sillies
Denise, I always have a camera with me, as you never know when that perfect moment will happen
Snap, I think that dragonfly wanted to have its photo taken :)
Hi Jennifer, I didn't even realize I was getting a shadow when I took the photo, it was one of those ah moments when I uploaded it to the computer

ReplyDeleteOh beauty. Dragon flies are my absolute favorite.

ReplyDeleteThe shadows of the wings look lovely, so delicate that you don't know where the wings stop and the shadows start.
