The desert toad was found at work. I brought it home, placed it in the mini studio and shot a few images. I then took it out to the desert to release it. A few more photos of the toad and it was free to catch bugs.
One the way back to my car the dragonfly you see in the shots landed on a twig. I chased this thing around for about 1 hour. It would stay in about 30ft area...so...I got a few shots off at different angles.
Thanks for looking.

Great series. I'd pick #1 of the dragon and #6 of the toad as my favourites.

#6 has great lighting and texture.

WOWZA! You are the macro king! I always love your dragonflies and bugs..,.. And the toad is soooo cool! I really like him in his natural environment the best.. the white is neat, but having the rock and dirt in the background makes a much more interesting image.

AWESOME!
