Carletta: Very cool capture, I've never see a green one.
BTW: I have been a little busy lately and was on vacation. CC and TF had to suffer. I'm well so no concern.

Very nice Carletta. I love the way you have all the background out of focus. That makes you focus on the dragonfly.

I love its color...around here our dragonflies are all a very drab brown.
