Mike this is stunning. And I just noticed there is a dragonfly atop this bud. They don’t sit in one place for too long. What a great shot!

Hello Mike!
This picture captured the beauty of it. Just take a look at the water lily bud! Ain’t that a pretty? The dragonfly is worshiping the beauty of the lily.. soon, that bud will bloom.. i hope you can watch and take the picture of the full bloomed water lily..

Davina – Thanks. I actually got some closer images that same day.
Barbara – Thanks !
Sallie – Thanks! Actually, that photo was taken a year and a half ago — and there were other already open blossoms.
Mike what a beautiful photo. You have a gift.

Argh! I tried to comment here yesterday but couldn’t and now I forgot what I wanted to say. But I love how dragonflies can balance like that – they are so graceful.

So sweet how you caught the dragonfly on that! Did you know that dragonfly landings are good luck!! Yep!

Rose – Thanks. I’ve always loved photography.
teeni – Dragonflies are pretty amazing. In the summer, there are plenty of them on that Lake.
Jannie – I didn’t know that. I could use some luck, but, then, can’t we all?
