What a cool shot. His back looks like bamboo. A few weeks ago I saved one of these that was caught in a spider web... it wasn't his time yet ;)

Looks like you have a nice little Blue-Fronted Dancer. Did you find it near a river or stream? Nice photo.

Great capture and great title.

What a beautiful critter. I haven't seen a blue dragon fly, other than in pictures...we have the red/orange ones out here where I live. This one is a real beauty and amazing macro, Carletta!

This is beautiful, I've always been so enchanted with dragonflies, even as a kid, tried catching them...this is a beautiful color variation.

What a wonderful shot! Even more wonderful with the shadows. Way cool.

Unknown said...

So delicate and dainty. They whisper by so softly.

Janice Thomson said...

Outstanding shot of this delicate creature.

Leedra said...

Wonderful damselfly.

david =i= said...

Beautiful shot. I would have said dragonfly but for Leedra saying damselfly. I looked it up and saw the difference between the two. What a sweet photograph. . . I also saw this representation of a dragonfly when I was searching. I though it was neat. . . =i= =i= =i= =i= =i= . . . an army of dragonflies!

Kilauea Poetry said...

This is the best close up I've seen! Unreal..look at those eyes- ha..but its a damselfly? Neat

Unknown said...

Beautiful, Carletta. I love the blue on the thorax (?) of the dragonfly. It's a very excellent insect capture.

Unknown said...

Nice capture. When enlarged, the dragonfly looks almost machine-like.
