Dragonflies arrived in the garden more than 300 million years ago-a mere 70 million years before the earliest known dinosaur. With expert hunting skills and the ability to fly at speeds over 30 mph, it's not surprising that their species have been able to achieve such longevity.
Caught this picture of a Dragonfly on our deck.. They really are beautiful creatures
I was outside taking photos of my garden for my photo diary when I noticed this little guy drying out his wings sitting on the clothes line.
I was checking my raspberries last summer and noticed this dragonfly resting on one of the bushes.
I had my camera outside to take a picture of a window that needs to be replaced, and this little guy landed right next to me and waited to have his picture taken.
I found this rare species of dragonfly and managed to capture using my new Canon EOS 550D
Dragonfly taking a moment to pose for a shot. I was lucky to capture this shot.
I came home and as I was walking down the driveway, I could see this huge dragonfly near the front door. Luckily, I had my camera with me and I got few shots of it before it flew away.
In a beautiful place in Auburn, CA filled with flowers and other wildlife, this dragonfly wanted to make friends.
I love walking in my garden with my camera. Resting on my day lily, was this beautiful dragonfly. Anyone else besides me like dragonflies?
I saw this little one setting on a flower pot. I just had to get the camera, and get a shot of him.
This little guy let me get close enough to get this picture (and a few more)!
Another walk in my garden with camera in hand, looking for what will surprise me today. Look what I found perched on one of my garden stakes.
We watched this dragonfly land and leave 3 times in a few minutes. We figured he wanted his picture taken. My husband ran in and got the camera. The little guy waited for me to snap a pic and then flew away.
I wasn't sure these photos of this dragonfly would turn out well because of the cloudy day but decided to try and see what would happen. Glad I did because I was pleased by the wonderful results.
