I thought some of you might enjoy this picture I got of a visitor on one of my fig plants.

Beautiful shot!

Is that one of those real refined dragonflies with the thin abdomen?  It's so pretty.

Looks like dragon fly is smileing.
Thats a very nice picture you took.
I sometimes think if some creatures were as big as us we would be lower on the food chain !
Wonderful picture.

I'd like to use it for fishing.
That beauty of a Dragonfly can bring in one beautiful Rainbow Trout.

Very nice pic Blues

Great picture Tom. Thanks for sharing!

The small skinny ones are not really dragonflies.  They are called damselflies.  That is a nice picture of one.

Hi Jeff,

I saw some of those at Hodges Gardens last spring.  They are so pretty and delicate.

Hey Noss,

There is so much to see if you just stop and look for it.  Some people never take notice of the wildlife around them.  Yesterday for my lunch break I sat next to a bayou and watched a couple of birds hunt for small fish.  Then one of them tried to grab a small turtle, but the turtle got away.  Lucky turtle!  You can learn alot from watching nature.
