| Dragonfly in Red Rock of Nevada | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Red Skimmer Dragonfly.
This photo was taken in Terrace Canyon of Red Rocks in Southern Nevada. The peak in the background is Bridge Mountain.
While hiking up the canyon I have noticed that one dragonfly seems to be attracted to one particular branch of a small plant growing near the waterfall. I sat in front of the branch and waited for the dragonfly to come back. A half hour later I got this picture. Enjoy.

Voted 10/10 | I envy your patience (and faith) waiting for the dragonfly to come back!
Guess the dog wasn't with you, begging to keep moving? :) | | Posted Jan 17, 2007 4:47 am |

My dog was not there indeed. It is a bit too much scrambling over large boulders for him to get into this canyon. | | Posted Jan 17, 2007 5:28 am |

| | Anya Jingle | Re: impressive | |
Hasn't voted | Thanks. I believe I was on a group hike that day. Since I don't eat when I hike ( except for some fruit) I entertain myself by taking photographs or looking for nice angles while others are eating their lunch ;) | | Posted Dec 21, 2007 7:09 pm |
