Dragonfly
by Kathleen Haines (Kphotocats)

Camera:

Canon EOS 30-D

Location:

Newport News, Virginia

United States of America

Photographer Notes:

Very hot, humid afternoon. The sky was almost white, with occasional gray clouds. I was taking pictures of coal cars and the wildflowers along the railroad tracks when the dragonfly flew in and landed right in front of me and allowed time for 3 or 4 pictures. CSX Railroad Lines at Mercury Blvd.

Certainly warmer over there! My toes are still frozen.

Beautiful detailed shot of the dragonfly, Kathleen! I especially like the position and coloring of the wings. Your photo and description gives us a good idea of what the day was like from your part of Virginia.

A wonderful capture, Kathleen! You have given us a great description of the local conditions, which certainly show through in your beautiful shot!

Thank you all for your warm comments. And James, it's been between 95 and 100 here for over a week, so could you send some of your cool? (Please???)

That dragonfly landed there because he wanted his photo taken. What a nice capture, with great detail and clearity.
