Dragonflies

I've developed a bit of a fascination for Dragonflies.
They are all so unique...some quite beautiful, and others downright creepy. For instance, take a look at this first one!
I've nicknamed him Batman, but after further thought, I changed my mind (you'll see what I mean at the end of this post)!
Anyway, hope you enjoy...























Ok, now take a look at the Hubble Spacecraft. Doesn't my first Dragonfly look JUST like it??

I've always loved dragonflies....even after somebody told me they bite. Which they don't.

I like dragonflies too! I think they can be intimidating...some of them get pretty big. When I hold out my hand some of them will fly close by and almost land. Good thing they don't breathe fire like the mythical dragons. I'll have to dig up some of my dragonfly photos...they're around somewhere. That hubble spacecraft does have similarities with your first dragonfly photo...I agree!!! Thanks and smiles to you!

I like dragon flies myself. We used to catch then as kids. I've got a great one for your collection and I'll email it to you (if I can find it).

Great shots! And yes, dragonflies look like the spaceshuttle...or is that the other way around. ;)
