Skywatch Friday - Dragonfly Sky

We've had many days of blue skies, unusual for Seattle. All the creatures are happy, especially the humans! (Photo taken Tuesday in my garden)

  1. How clever of you to take a photo of a dragonfly - I don't think I've ever seen one not in motion.

  2. Wow! What an amazing capture of the dragonfly. Good going, Linda! I must not be very quiet. I still haven't even taken a photo of a mynah bird and they're all around, for goodness sake.

  7. fun photo i never think of taking closeups of insects guess cause its too hot to be outside much this time of year. would love to get a lizard or something like that. maybe i'll try. i know what you mean about blue sky in seattle-it's the opposite here if it clouds up and rains we celebrate...

  8. Clever angle on that dragon fly. I've always thought of them as mini-helicopters.

  10. Okay... it's a great shot! It looked just a tad scary to me initially... but when I realized what you'd captured, I was mightely impressed!

    Awesome, indeed!

  11. I have to agree with you Caryn, I think it's kind of creepy looking, too. It looks like a huge monster looming overhead.
    It landed on the top of the wire bean trellis and was quite happy to sit there as I got closer and closer and zoomed in on it. When I saw this pic, it was startling.

  13. Those bugs are not my favorite, but on a picture they're amazing.
    I like your sense of humor, yes, we're creatures too, and we need sun, as well!
    Thanks to fly in my direction. Have a great week end. From France.

  15. Wow what an amazing shot. Your closeness and angle make it look like a giant flying creature. Just joined the group and it's very impressive what a variety of wonderful shots everyone captures.

  16. I get excited when I see dragonflies. I try to point them out to my six year old daughter. I loved one of the Pooh stories that includes a dragonfly.

  17. Great picture!! My only ? is:
    Do dragonflies bite or sting?
