  1. He had met his end, so it was very easy to get a close-up.

  2. A shame he's dead, but very pretty. Dragonflies are so interesting -- I only recently learned that some of them migrate long distances.

  3. Thanks for the ID. Somewhere on this computer I have a shot of an amber with a blue and all the UF Gator fans in my house see it as gator colors.

  4. One of my favorite dragonflies - I am firmly convinced they see themselves as giants.
