Thanks Dottie, Sherri, Evy, Lyn, Dolores, Leanne and Barb! This was the most beautiful dragonfly I've ever seen and the first Green Darner. He was clinging to a weed close to the ground and I almost missed him. I appreciate your very kind remarks!! #173925Bob Cammarata August 21, 2003
Well done Terry!!Terry Cervi August 22, 2003
Thanks Bob and Michelle! I appreciate your complimentary comments! Michelle, I used my Canon EF 100mm macro lens plus +3 close-up lens attached. Most importantly, this beautiful dragonfly was very cooperative. He patiently sat there while I moved in as close as I was able. #174894Evy Johansen September 09, 2003

Fantastic shot, Terry. Congrats and good luck with this one!Susana Matos September 12, 2003
This is GREAT, Congrats,Bill Morgenstern September 15, 2003
Super job Terry. Wondering if this was really a verticle orientation. I have NEVER seen a common green darner rest in a verticle position on a grass stem. If he was cold he would be overnighting in a verticle position. #201157Terry Cervi September 15, 2003
Thanks Evy, Lynn, Dolores, Guy, Susana and Bill! Your comments are much appreciated! Bill, I did rotate this image. #201408Dan S. Coquia September 22, 2003
