This is a very brave dragonfly to be able to sit on a young bullfrog's head, or, it knows it's the safest place to be, where it can't get eaten... :)
I saw this and I immediately focused on it, but the dragonfly was only there for a split second, so this was my only shot, I didn't have any time to change my settings. I've seen this happen before, but each time I have it was when I didn't have a camera.

Good shot!!! You gotta be there to get the shot...and you were. Makes you wonder what's going on through each of their minds...or if anything is going on. :)

Thanks, Ed! You're right about you have to be there, I did log in about 50 hours in that week there at the marsh. I was there for at least 6-7 hours per day, there was stuff going on regularly, but then there's be a lull, and back on again. If you don't get out there, you definitely don't have a shot, it's just like the lottery, you have to play before you win. heheheh
Really, I bet they don't think, they just act, but I'd like to know what they think too! :)

Thanks Ed!
