You are probably going to get tired of looking at dragon fly pictures (and yes, I have a couple more to post)! This little bugger was hanging on tight to a blade of grass in my back yard, blowing in the wind. Yes, I do think he needs a shave!

Bravo Ron! I love shooting these elusive guys too, and you got wonderful detail for a handheld shot under windy conditions. I know what its like to chase after these guys and carefully move into position, just to have them fly off at the last second.Good job! #3279629
