| Face to face with Dragonfly | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Red Skimmer Dragonfly of the Spring Mountains, Nevada.
I took this photo on top of Big Falls near the spring in July 2007.
She was hunting up there for flies.

Hasn't voted | Thanks Vlad. I sat down near the dragonfly and stretched my arms putting the camera slowly right in front of its face to get this macro. It was a fun challenge. Cheers | | Posted Jul 22, 2007 6:51 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thanks Azra. I still haven't succeeded in taking photos of the blue ones. There were many of them in the same area where this red one, but they just kept flying around and didn't land on anything. Maybe someday. | | Posted Jul 22, 2007 6:54 pm |

Voted 10/10 | I love dragonflies. I grew up with a man-made pond in my backyard, where we'd get a variety of wildlife and insect visitors. | | Posted Dec 10, 2007 12:51 am |

Hasn't voted | Yes, they are definitely amazing and tireless. I would love to take a close up like that of a blue one sometime, but so far I had much more luck with the red ones. Thanks for the comment. | | Posted Apr 10, 2008 5:04 pm |
