I believe that you would have tried to fix him, Dr.V! Maybe your smelling salts would have helped a little! What a great capture! #11057335

Description

He sure picked a pretty water lily to land on but it seems as tho there was a slight problem - one wing kinda got a little bent upon landing. Took about a nanosecond for him to straighten it out, tho and off he zoomed. (I was about ready to call in the "dragonfly medics". :) :)
