Just lovely, Tess -- it's great to see these beautiful creatures so up close. We don't have many around here, and those we do find are pretty plain and don't stay in one place very long. #7971040

Thanks for the great comment, Monnie! I find mine at a large park/lake area...they're quite literally everywhere! #7971207

Great macro with fine details and beautiful colors Tess. How did you manage to get it stay still so long? LOL. #7971378

Thanks for that terrific comment, Patricia!

My secret? Dumb luck! This one just sat there as I moved all around it, even going so far as to kneel in front and stare it in the eye(s). Now, if only the sun had been less directly overhead, and I had not been lazy and left the tripod in the car...again! #7971600
