I rarely take my computer outside. It is so hard to see the screen, but I just needed to be outside and I had a scrapbooking video I wanted to watch, so out I went. Look who paid me a visit. Perched right there on the corner of my screen. Thankfully I had my point and shoot camera right beside me. There was no time for adjusting settings. I clicked away and was lucky to get any good shots!
Aren't they fascinating creatures.
I mean, what a face!
And, what gorgeous details.
Some days I feel extra blessed!
How many are your works, LORD!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
the earth is full of your creatures.
--Psalms 104:24
Wow - these are great! It must like scrapbooking!
ReplyDeleteGosh Cathy, that dragonfly looks almost scary so close up! The shimmering wings are wonderful though! Point and shoot cameras are so useful to have nearby and they do a good job of things too! What a visitor on your outside computer screen!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have thought I had gone to heaven, you know I haven't not photographed one of these yet, it is on my bucket list. Not many here or at least that I can fine and I am sure not as pretty as the one that landed on your computer. How wonderful Cathy. I think I would have dropped the camera, with excitement.
ReplyDeleteThese guys have become favorites!! I LOVE these shots. It's the wings and the variety that floor me!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did a wonderful job with that point and shoot!
ReplyDeleteThose wings in the last shot are amazing.
ReplyDeletewow Cathy, these are amazing macros! I just love dragonflies and you captured this one so beautifully! They have such clown-like faces!

ReplyDeleteOh, my - those wings look like tiny stained glass windows. What a wonderful capture.
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful macro of the dragonfly -- he is beautiful, or it a she? A special blessing for sure.
ReplyDeleteWow you got some fabulous shots. So full of wonderful detail. It's an amazing insect.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I almost missed this one. I love dragonflies! We seldom see them around here because it's so dry, but occasionally one does pass by and I always get very excited. I had a wonderful personal visit from one a few years ago - he landed on my knee! After a few moments, he flew up, circled round, and landed there again. Luckily I had my camera with me, too, and was able to capture him. The funny thing was what I was wearing at the time: pajama pants with a dragonfly print.
