Camouflage

I would love this to be a wonderful shot where the dragonfly is standing on the tip of a beautiful flower but the darned bug wouldn't co-operate!

Wonderful! At least you got it to stay put!

You are too funny, Katy. I love this photo and glad you mentioned that there is a dragonfly actually taking up most of this photo as it blends in for me. I think wherever you can capture one of these, you take the photo as they are hard to capture. I have tried. Love the detail. I am so amazed as to how they look in macro or close up. So cool. You did great.
My eyes (have been having problems for months) and are now giving me grief from a cleaner my husband sprayed yesterday before we went to the park, in our bathroom, so still airing out the house and still having problems though a ton better than yesterday.

I have never gotten one to stop for me long enough he does blend right in

@photos222 I posted a dead one earlier for the same reason, Sybil . After I said I' would never get one to sit still long enough I have managed to catch two so you don't give up!

I think this is a wonderful shot, Katy. Wonderful detail, and it shows how camouflage works in nature.

Great camo shot! :) When I first looked at it, it almost looked like his body was shiny and reflecting the light, but then I realized it was just his markings that made it seen that way. Fab detail!

@marilyn Thanks,especially for noticing the white on his body that looks like reflection! I really appreciate it~!

Perfect name for it! He does blend in well.

June 5th, 2012  
Well iusn't that how it usually goes? LOL, but anyway, look at all the great detail you were able to capture.

Fabulous Katy!!!! and nice to have something other than a flower for a change!!! he has such a gorgeous golden tint.

@ruthmouch Thanks,Ruth! I know what you mean about the flowers! I either need to get out more or stretch my creativity a bit to get away from the flowers!
June 5th, 2012  
Wow!, great close up.. I have never been able to have one stay still to get a shot!!
June 6th, 2012  
@smithak That is exactly what I said a month or so ago and now I finally found one that would!
