Three gorgeous images here Ed with #s 2 & 3 being tied as the best image in my opinion. Isn't that a dragonfly wing visible in the last image?

Yes, it is all that remains of a dragonfly that got eaten before I was able to catch up to where it had landed, to get this shot.

I have approx. 500 images to sort through now, with some being as good as or even better than these ones.
