oh
the dragonfly
~
it flits
it flies
it's faster than a speeding bullet
~well kind of~
~
but
if you make like a tree
down by the water's edge
and
use your zoom lens
you just might be able to catch one
~
and
if you do
it will kind of take your breath away

Holy cow Beth! Truly amazing photo! Imposable really. Or is that impossible? Hee hee haa haa!
Wow - it certainly took my breath away, and I didn't even have to take the picture!
Gorgeous!
My favourite insect for sure. Lovely captures of this beauty.
I need to practice the 'make like a tree' part. Awesome photo of one of Mother Nature's beautiful creatures.

they are "flighty" subjects and you obviously did a great job making like a tree! :-)
exquisite ...
Those wings ! Love this.
you had much better luck than me! LOL plus my hands shake with the zoom.
gorgeous shots!
It just goes to show some photographers have the skill to capture a really quick moving dragon fly. Nice photos.
no, not easy at all. but when you do manage to get a good shot of dragonflies and butterflies... well.. doesnt it just take your breath away?
wow. yes it takes my breath away
oh wow, a moment in time.... soo beautifully captured... really truly... LOVE... yay, zoom... yay YOU... sooo fabulous...

Oh Beth.. this is beautiful... I have one posted today too but it's not nearly as pretty as the df's you get up there!!!!
Beth, the photos are stunning, the wings are so thin. I think it is a great capture for sure. they took my breath away. take care.
G-R-E-A-T photos!!
WOW! Amazing shots!
Outstanding! it is NOT easy at all...I was able to get a side angle view of one without falling into the river...however I need LOTS more practice and experience to even come close to capturing such an amazing shot!
Yes, they always take my breath away. I love to stand still when I am watering my garden and watch the play in the mist. Beautiful. And you are amazing.
Beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen a black and white dragonfly before. Maybe we don't have them in Florida. So glad you had the patience to capture this shot!
Amazing. I'm going back to gaze a bit more.
i love dragon flies.
a m a z i n g. i have always had a thing for dragonflies... this one takes me breath away for sure.
love, love, love the fresh crisp look you got going on.

Such a beautiful picture. I can't sit still that long before my diuretic for hypertension kicks in and sends me running for the nearest bathroom!

You must have the patience of a saint!

They are tied for my favorite insect--with fireflies.
WOW... those are amazing.
make me want to go sit at the creek!
gorgeous shots of the dragonfly. they are difficult to capture. they never seem to settle. have a great night~
Geezzz Beth. this one is a beauty. never ever did i see a black and white spotted one like this. Gorgious. Oh and I do know it's not easy, you keep hopping back and forth sneeking up on them :-))) but it sure is fun to try.

Oh, the pink in those delicate wings...so beautiful! It must be a girl dragonfly. For sure.
I've never been so lucky to catch one in repose. Simply lovely.
Isn't a dragonfly the most amazing of God's creations? I love them passionately! These images make me happy.
