Spider on a Stick
So
I went to my dragonfly pond---all set to capture a few--checked my landing sitck, steadied the tripod, focused--- and waited
and waited
They were flying all around--why not land on their stick like they did any other day???
When I upload this test image--- WELL--easy to tell why!
A fun shot for the weekend
and a huge Thank You to (Graceland) Robin for his Betty Boop Award-- for the "Black-eyed Susan" image!

Quote: I love this Jenn especially the fact that we can't see his body! It's the 'I can't see you so you can't see me' mentality!
Perfect!

A very colourful background helps to let the spindly legs stand out!
Amazing how they hide themselves Jenn, great stuff,
Geoff.
Lovely image. I went to a dragonfly pond a month or so and waited and waited and waited and they must have all gone on holiday! 
I changed my position to the other side of the pond and waited and still nothing, all of a sudden I had a sinking feeling and quickly realised my boots had sunk down into the mud!
Best described as not one of my better photogtraphic trips!

What an amazing image,
It never ceases to amaze me as to what the camera can seethat we cant with the naked eye.
tho' in preparation for a wedding I took loads of images of the children to get them used to me
Got home and there were at least 8 pictures with a tongue sticking out.. I hadnt even noticed ... oooops
Does what is says on the tin, like the green background
the spider was well hidden, good that you spotted him
