Closer view

This looks like a dragonfly.
That'll be because it IS one !

You get a lot of pretty insects Flcrazy, your dragonflies and butterflies are gorgeous, do you get a large variety of them in your garden and do you plant to encourage them ?

Excellent photo Flcrazy :)

Many Thanks for showing this series of fab pics, Fl - amazing insects! :-)

Super pics Jerrie!

I really appreciate all your nice comments !
Louise, luckily my obsession with owning one of everything and the lake being near by, takes care of drawing all of them in for me. I can't take credit for doing it on purpose...:-) Wish I could say I was that environmentally consious...

Sounds like a nice area to live Flcrazy :)

Yes, all my thanks go to my Mom and Dad, for buying a farm when I was a child. Now my brothers and I have a wonderful place to live...:-)

arent they wonderfull creatures, great shot flcrazy
