    I always think they are looking cross eyed..

    I always wonder what they think I am looking.

    Obviously a bit of a poser but what a lovely shot it makes.

    Wow, what a great picture!! Just think, 300 million years that dragonflies' relatives had 3 foot wingspans and predate dinosaurs. Today they see 360°, can fly in any direction, hover and travel at 60 mph. Hmmm, I wonder how fast the older version went? Interesting creatures.

    I love dragonflies and wish I had them in my garden. I've seen blue, brownish-yellow and some dark ones around but have never managed to photograph them.
