Look Out! Behind You! Uh-Oh!

The dragonflies were as active as could be today -- flitting all over the garden area, deck, and even attaching themselves to chairs and screens. With the winds blowing a bit, I went out with my long telephoto and ended up taking about 40 photos. This was one of my favorites as it really did look like the one behind was trying to sneak up on the other one.

How funny to look and actually see that wild-eyed face on the second guy with his little legs and feet stealthily sneaking up from behind! You must have laughed when you saw it!
