I really enjoy shooting dragonflies and damselflies. They are beautiful little creatures, kind of comical to watch, and they make really good photographic subjects. I find myself sitting on the little bridge over the pond for hours watching them and making images.

Sometimes I think I’ve spent too much time out there. The dragonflies have come so accustomed to my presence, that they will actually land on my camera bag and my shoulders.  So far, none have landed on my lens. Maybe I should start carrying a point-and-shoot camera just in case.
