Dragonflies
20
Categories: Photo-Journal •August 19, 2008
More of the Dragonflies, I encountered on my Walk.
First off - a Halloween Pennant and then Bob Again - hovering around me!
Just an update on the weather here in Central Florida. It seems that TS "Fay" already has
lost much of her steam. Wind has picked up a little bit here, but so far only a few drops of
rain and relatively high clouds. Might be that this storm has been a bit over hyped as the
1st to make landfall here this year.

Great capture of the Halloween Pennant.
I notice you use Manual focus also. I always do for insects.
Beautiful photo and color.
Thanks for the visit,
Troy

Love both dragonflies. The first one is aptly named. (I guess “Bob” is a good name for the second one, too.)
And NO WAY! The media over-hyped something?

Great details and appreciated the camera setting info. I’m glad Fay is not doing much harm to Florida, but a little disappointed that it’s not coming up this way to drop some rain here…we need it so so much!

Wow. Klaus, you know I’m a sucker for Dragonflies, right? It’s why I love you actually! =)
I know my photography isn’t in the same zip code as yours, but I got some shots of one of my Red-Tailed Hawks today that are actually ‘OK’. You know, for me. Just saying.

Absolutely amazing! The clarity is just… Wow! And I’m glad it seems the storm is fizzling down some. Be safe.
