"Dragonfly in November"
Posted by j. coleman miller (Houston, United States) on 8 February 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
This is a photo I took of a Red Dragonfly at my pond in late November. Needless to say, It's pretty nice down here most of the year! This is the best photo I have seen of one! The wing structure is amazing, and this creature is a good example of how Mother Nature kicks our butt in technology. Note: These things will land on your outstreched finger and check YOU out!

@juant3: I was as suprised at this shot as everyone else! I used a point & shoot camera and took only one picture!
