Wow! Great job Kurt! I love dragonflies but rarely are able to capture them.

Thanks, Alan. 280mm, actually. Next time I will try a 105 and see what happens.

Thanks, Jim. They're tricky. Sometimes I find them like this in the mornings.

What a nice find, Kurt!

Thanks, Monika. It's nice to find them hanging out in the morning before the sun hits.

Lovely capture Kurt. Nice when the dew is still on the insect.
