Description

This was a dragonfly, or some people call this one an antilion, sitting on a rose of sharron leaf. The wind was blowing hard that day, somehow I got a great shot of this little guy before he flew away.

This is so funny.. He looked as tho he was hanging on for dear life..

Not many people have commented on my foto's as yet.. When someone does, I always look at their gallery..

I must be doing something right.. Everyone that has commented so far.. Their galleries look perfessional..

So agaoin this one reaaly hit my finny bone..
