This is an amazing photo of this dragonfly! You must have a really good camera to take such a detailed photo.

It is a pretty good one... I would love a better zoom lens but they are soooo expensive.

I need to get a new camera one day, but I want one that's easy to use like my point-and-shoot one...the other ones just look so complicated to use.

Have You seen fotos I made some years ago,when giant dragonflies got trapped in the building where I was working in? Twice,year by year... they had 12 to 15 cm lenght,and sound of wings was so intense and loud that first time I got scared,because it sounded like a mini helicopter...
I had to capture them to let the free out of the building.
The second one -with blue, I brought home to show to my kids,so the fotos on the finger are made by my son,ofcours still the same day we let it free...the experiences was amazing!

Yes, thank You for understanding, I was very careful with it,but still feel bit guilty about it...

Did You know that they live 7 years under water and than for about only 2 weeks can fly...

:C that is sad, but living underwater would have its own perks
