Nice picture they are hard to catch.

Cool, I tried to get a photo of a bee in a flower yesterday but he would not cooperate :bowdown:

I have a lot of dragon flies around the pond now, seems they came out of nowhere. The first pic took me a while to get b/c camera would not focus on it, kept wanting to focus on the lilly pad.

Neat pics.........I love it when they come around my pond.......some are huge and such bright pretty colors :lol:

Thanks, I have a couple more I like equally as well but they keep failing to post. My camera croaked the other night and the other camera I have sucks, Looking at getting a lot nicer one but $600 for what I want is kind of steep. especially not knowing if I'll still have to battle the posting issue.
BTW, who says alcohol doesn't fix anything, Got the other laptop out of the pool, got a little tan and got in a lot better mood, only took three glasses and I was mucho better! LOL

Glad your feeling better.:lol:

In one of your pics on your showcase there is a bridge and next to the bridge there is a plant about 4-5' tall with some reddish stems and arrow like leaves, what is this?

red stem thalia, I love that plant! That's the bloom that the dragonfly is sitting on with the blue sky back ground. The flowers are small and purple and white and stand about 5' about the already 5'-6' tall plant. If you can't find any I do have a few young ones started.
