The background color is the car's roof.
I had enough time to change lenses and take a bunch of photos before the dragonfly moved on. This is my favorite of the bunch.

Une libellule
I was sitting on the deck reading on Wednesday afternoon when I noticed a small dragonfly go by. It stopped on the tip of the car's antenna down in the driveway below me. Hmm, I thought, I wonder if it'll stay there long enough for me to get the camera?

THAT is an amazing shot.
ReplyDeleteChapeau Monsieur.
It's exquisite!!! You must have an excellent camera (:^) and a very, very steady hand to be able to shoot such a detailed photo from a distance (2-3 metres, I guess??). Bravo! Martine
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Walt!!
ReplyDeletethere seems to be an abundance of dragonflies in this area this year. don't know why, but they are interesting insects! I love the lace wings in your photo!
ReplyDeleteWOW! what a great photo!!
ReplyDeleteNice reliable subjects, male dragonflies. They will return to a stick again and again, so there is always time to get the camera. C'est le sympétrum rouge sang.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo - I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteOkay...so I guess this is the reason why we need to keep our cars spotlessly clean!!!
ReplyDeleteOne never knows when the car roof will take on such importance in the next photo op!
Well done and speedily, I might add.
I never knew dragon flies came in red! Chouette and Bravo!
