West Side Dragonfly

Hi, I'm a west side dragonfly living on Beaver Island. I'm tough. This is the windy side. This is the rocky side. Nighttime is really pretty on this side. I always have a smile on my face. I can balance anywhere. I can go to the east side and hang out, but come back to the west side when I feel like it. There are weird looking dragonflies on the east side with huge eyes ( http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-07-29), not like our attractive flat ones. I think I'm beautiful, so definitely should be one of Taffy's Get-Pushed-106 unusual beauty photos.

This is so cool -so detailed macro that it leaves me all astonished

[Eric di Bosco]

Two great shots, Taffy. Am I correct in saying that the East side one looks more slender overall than this guy? Looks like the strong winds and daily gym really pays off!

[Margaret Obey]

Now I'm as green with envy as that background Taffy. I'm beginning to think my bridge camera is not enough ( although the lessons may change my mind!) This is wonderful, the detail from the macro right down to the marks on the wings and the little spikes on the legs is astonishing. Fav

[Francoise]

It's really interesting how he's cradling the underside of the leaf with his feet. I definitely enjoyed hearing what dragonflies are thinking.
