Another dragonfly found at Zilker Botanical in Austin, TX.

This will be my last submit for a couple of weeks...Better Half's vacation is coming up and we're planning a few little mini trips around TX looking for that elusive little town to retire in...so far we haven't found it but with less than a year to go, we better hurry!

Happy Monday Everyone and take care for the few weeks I'll be MIA...see ya soon! :)

  It looks like it is grabbing a beam getting ready to go up in a handstand. Excellent details and perfect DOF Val. Beautiful work!

  Marvelous Val! Looks like he can hold on til you get back. I sure wish you could retire here in Oceanside..the prices are amazingly affordable now. Especially in my little over 55 community

  What a capture Val, soon you'll have more time devoted to our favorite hobby and join the ranks of the retired. I took the plunge in May. Have a great time looking around and of course taking the time to take some more pictures as impressive as this.
