Christmas Colors

...in August....(not that I'm rushing the Season :) Found this red dragonfly hanging onto a cypress tree branch at Zilker Botanical in Austin.

Since resubs are now allowed, thought I'd give this one another go-around! Entered into: D&M

  Val, I am so jealous. I have tried so many times to get just one good shot of the dragonflies in my yard. I can't seem to convince them to pose or the lighting is never right. Val, you have brought all the disadvantages to a perfect capture, with stunning colors and wonderful details. Just beautiful my friend.
