Taxiing To Take Off

I am surprised that I even saw this dragon fly about 30 feet in the air above me and even more surprised he sat long enough for me to get my camera ready and take several shots,

[Meg]

love the view and the comparison in size to the wire...cool shot!

[Daryl O'Hare]

It's beautiful and a fav for me. :)

[👑 AnaZad]

Love the capture as much as the title... Fantastic.

[Dawn Reilly]

love the leading line and it almost seem like there is an expression on it's face when you look large!
Very cool shot!

[Cheryl Sim]

Well done you (and camera0 fantastic long distance shot. Just delicate & lovely!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Your camera has a great zoom! He looks like the shots I get of the d flies on the cables that hold our dock to the hill. He also looks like a tiny Wilbur or Orville might be up there too! Laying across the top...

[katy]

@silverlight Really kind of you to say.

@espyetta Thanks. A great zoom was a requirement when I bought it! I use it instead of macro!

[J. Voorberg]

even the birds and the bees obey you......lol

[katy]

@jayberg hardly, but you keep on thinking that! ;~}

It must be me...I can't get these guys to sit still for me! Very cool shot! Love the composition!

@luvmynynix Not you at all . This one was far enough away that he didn't feel threatened by me
