Dragonfly


Posted by Picasa
This dragonfly sat on this post for at least an hour. Occasionally it would fly off briefly, but return to the post in seconds. It was very beautiful, but very difficult to photograph. The camera kept focusing on objects in the foreground or background instead of the dragonfly itself. I suppose this was because the dragonfly was almost translucent. I do not know how I actually got it in focus. I did not notice at the time but it looks like one of its wings is injured.
