Today I'm showing some recent dragonfly captures. I think this one is a Common White.
This brown one was real cool. The wing is a little battered.
A pair of red ones mating.
This big one would not land but would sit there hovering. I shot it across the stream in the air.
This was a neat brown one with see through wings.
You can see the critters around the world above.
Hi, I found your blog by way of Jo's. Wonderful photography and it sounds like you might like fishing a bit, lol. I live with someone just like that. I'll visit again.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I love the way you caught the light on their wings.
ReplyDeleteThese are really good! I've been chasing these guys all summer for the 'at least fairly good shot' but I guess I should just post what I've got - I'm not getting better at capturing them. :)

Very nice Tom!! My Monarch is here!! I now have three more butterflies with the wings drying to be released this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDeleteA good set of photographs. They are interesting insects.
Those veined celephane like wings look so fragile I'm surprised they're not more battered. Love the shadows of the wings especially on the mating pair.
ReplyDeleteI saw one dragonfly while walking the Virgin River last week, no photo, it had been years since I'd seen one. That's what I get for living in the desert.
Very Cool Shots, I have notice a lot of them around here this year. Usually we only get a couple but there are hundreds I think that is a good sign.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful Tom. Dragonflies are really hard to et proper pictures of. Well done!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the texture and sheen of those wings. You have a good eye.
ReplyDeleteThe illumination on the wings is very nice. Very nice photos...
ReplyDeleteReally nice shots, Tom. You've photographed so well those amazing transparent wings.

About your question, my berries pictures are of February.
You always make me long to capture dragonflies, but alas they don't seem to settle here.
ReplyDeleteWow - nice work! Dragonflies are notoriously hard for me to photograph.
ReplyDeleteMore great photos from you, Tom. You always capture such great one. The dragonfly ones are GREAT.
ReplyDeleteHope you all are having a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
You must have amazing patience to make all of these great dragonfly captures. They rarely sit still for me!
ReplyDeleteI love following those when I was a kid...especially since they're abundant where I grew up :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots Tom.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful assortment of dragonflies. That common white one is quite uncommon for me. I have only seen one!

The dragonflies look just wonderful! Especially love the faint colour and texture on the wings of the last one!
ReplyDeletewow magnificent pictures, congratulations dear friend, you did a perfect work!
ReplyDeletepurrs, love and Happy Camera Critters

Aww some wonderful Macro's there FG:)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the deer in your header each time I visit and your dragonfly photos today are marvelous! So crisp & clear ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Love the detail of their wings-so cool.
ReplyDeleteI like these, Tom. For some reason I have taken to like dragonflies more and more.
ReplyDeleteGreat dragonfly shots, Tom. I still haven't gotten any post-worthy photos of them this year. Glad you've had better luck!
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures, Tom. I can't get a shot of dragonflies because they won't sit still long enough to get focused.
ReplyDeleteVery nice variety. I never see red ones. I think that first one is a Widow Skimmer and the second an Amberwing, but don't know the others.
ReplyDeleteIt's something I have so much trouble getting pictures of and you do it so well!!
ReplyDeleteWe just don't have dragonfly varieties here like that around the mountains... very few so I barely tie those variety for my flyrod. The fish are smart! But you have some beautiful photos here!!
Nice Dragon captures Tom!
ReplyDeleteCraig
Great shots, FG! I'm very impressed with the detail you were able to capture.
ReplyDeleteLOVE dragonflies! These are all terrific. I'm sure I've never seen so many kinds in my life, and certainly not in a general locality.
