A lovely macro, Joni! Delicate intricacies & fine details... so pretty :))
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thank you Connie. I was very intrigued. I had never seen a dragonfly with double wings. I have to say that picking up a camera has certainly broadened my horizons. The hardest part of this shot was getting decent sharpness on such a windy day!

I meant great
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thank you Michel! I do have a color one of her posted too, with a very uncluttered background; but, as they say, variety is the spice of life! Thanks for the visit. Always a delight!
