Living on the Edge

This morning, I took my camera out so that I could see what I could see. This dragonfly was hanging out on the edge of the pool. I got down on my hands and knees...ooof!..to take the photo and Martios scared it away. 🙁 So I moved and got all focused...and Wilbur scared it away! 😠 So I moved AGAIN and got all focused...and Winston scared it away! 😠🤣So I glared at them and may have said some unkind things about their intelligence and told them to sit. I moved AGAIN, focused, and got this image! Yay! Perhaps the intelligence lack was on MY part for not putting them in a sit after the first time! 😊

It is always reassuring to read about other peoples struggles to get the picture they want! and forgive me for being amused too. Great end result.

This has such great detail. Maybe the dragonfly rewarded you for your persistence. Fav!
