Taken yesterday on my birthday (61!)
I've never had luck catching dragonflys but there was a cold snap yesterday and this one, while alive, was so comatose I could pick the stalk and move it and put a flower behind.

Belated Happy Birthday from me too Fax. Mighty fine capture of the dragonfly and I sure like the way you positioned it. Looks very 'a la natural' to this gal. #10170112Fax Sinclair June 06, 2012
