Excellent! Having tried this for the first time recently, I can appreciate good dragonfly shots now!

Thanks Troy. Nobody wanted to pose on the end of a leaf or stick yesterday. They all wanted to rest on the ground.

Thanks Bill, yesterday was 32degC here! Cooler change was expected and today will only be 26. I'd jump at the chance to shoot snow, frost and ice crystals - never see it here where I live unfortunately. Best chance would be if I did a ski trip in winter to just south of Canberra.
Well done Greg! That first shot looks like a scarlet darter.
Thanks John.

Refer back to the temperature - the earlier it is the cooler, here!

Nice series Greg - is the front right leg missing, or is that visible and tucked up in shot number 2?
