We had a visitor in our back yard today. Really a pretty thing.

Dragon Flys have a habit of returning to the same place. As I inched closer, he (or she, never checked) would take off, fly around in a circle, then I would get a little closer to it's perch, and it would return. Did that several times and had the camera on the macro setting. It surprised me that it would keep coming right back even as I got close.

Fabulous pictures. That wing structure is really something even with a few holes in the trailing edge.

Must be the season, I also saw one yesterday...a blue one. They are beautiful creatures.

It's amazing how pretty and vivid their colors are. I read years ago that even though they have those huge legs, they can't walk.
