 It was a day of dragonflies: blue darners, brown speckled guy, and tiny beige damsel. (Still working on ID websites).

Slight crop, small bit of USM, nothing else.

Taken with son's FZ5 - so light, so easily held out with one arm to close the distance.

WHITE SPOTS are probably just reflections of the sun, Julie.

Very pretty dragonfly and clear shot. I think the white spots on the eyes are interesting. I've never seen that.

I don't see red ones often around here so I'm glad you got such a nice, clear shot to share.

The Panasonic did a nice job of focus and capture for this scene. The P&S cameras seem to have the right stuff for close shooting. Color and overall sharpness is excellent in the area of focus.
I see that the same variety of dragonfly that we have here lives there as well, even though the climate is totally different in the winter.
