I went to a Wildlife Sanctuary last summer to see if I could get some good bird shots. Not owning a long enough lens to get ANY kind of bird shot I started to play with my macro lens, and these little critters loved to cooperate!!

I loove dragonflies. Wonderful capture. Did you know that in Japanese culture, it is believed that Dragonflies are the link to the outer world because they are the only creature that can fly backwards?

This is the best dragonfly pic I've ever seen - I love the different shades of green and the OOF background.
