We have a small waterfall pond in our back yard... A pair of Red Dragonfles have been using the pond for it's larvae deposits, and it looks like they are going to return each year...

They are so very striking to watch as they dart around, flashing their red bodies, lighting gracefully on the vine that covers the rock area above the falls. I never dreamed they would allow me to get close enough to photograph close-ups, but as you can see, they did. This one seems to be getting more used to my presence. He even waited till I got my tripod set up! The structure of his wins and where they join the body... astounding! I was also able to shoot some HD video! Check it out below... I love this camera!
