    Default Black and Gold...

    I've been after one of these dragons for a while now..they seem a bit more skittish than the other colours. I think it's also a later season variety.
    Anyways...finally caught one yesterday!

    Awwww thanks TT. And thanks to for the nice comments Marko and MM!
    These days I've been seeing them at Fish Creek park, but also mostly around the wetlands and fields in Calgary. I've developed a bit of a system for catching them this summer and it seems to be working!

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    Indeed. This is a great "expose" on the dragonfly life! Wonderful captures!
