Wow!!! Now all I need are the little Dashers. I spotted this female Blue Dasher at my sister’s place. Her pond is home to a lot of dragonflies. I havn’t seen either the Blue Dasher or the Amberwing since I took their pictures in my yard. I don’t have a pond and am surrounded by woods.
I love their faces, and their wings are so delicately made.
She’s a bit prettier than in the photo. I couldn’t get her to pose with the sun showing her off the best. Every time I moved she’d fly away. Her color is yellow and brown.
This is the male Blue Dasher. She has some of the yellow that he does, but she doesn’t have the blue.
These are Sooooo beautiful! I think I may be seriously jealous of that lens! ☺ I love to see things like this up close and personal! Great!
ReplyDeleteThe face looks like a cartoon alien. The wings devine. Nice captures.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos Carol! It is so fun to capture these.

Wow! These photos are amazing! Beautiful creatures, captured perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely gorgeous! The shots are very clear and the background colors really set them off nicely. She may not have shown you her best side, but she did pose very nicely for you. Good work.

ReplyDeleteYour posts of late had me searching for dragonflies yesterday at the park. I saw some, but they never landed so that I could take a photo. I love the close-up of the female. Her wings really are intricate.
