I popped over to check out your shadows – but WOW that dragonfly pic is stunning. I have often chased them around, but a good shot has always eluded me.

Lovely photos! Of course, you know, that I love Sam the best!
I hope you’re okay. I haven’t seen you in ages out visiting, and I was starting to worry that you might be ill or something. Hope all is well.
Happy Pink Saturday!
XO,
Sheila 🙂

Holy cow — You and your friend have a lot in common — both amazingly talented. Lovely pictures. I am quite envious of the dragonfly — have been trying to get a picture of one without the slightest success.

A super Camera Critters post with such lovely photos of Sam and your dragonflies. Dragonflies are so difficult to photograph, so I am always impressed when I see ones like these.
I took a photo of a momma raccoon investigating my bird feeders. If you have the time to stop by, my post is right here,

Love the picture of the cat…he is quite content!
The picture of the dragon fly looks like it’s a windy day…he’s wings are at such an odd angle – fun!!

I love Sam in the shadows – so handsome, so laid-back.

Sam looks really “cool” 🙂
You did an excellent job with that dragonfly – they are not easy to photograph. Did you use a tele lens or was the little guy behaving and sitting still so you could get really close?

lovely photos but I’m very much drawn to your dragonfly one as I’m a nature photographer and I would love to capture a photo like this.

Your friend’s azaleas are gorgeous! I had a dragonfly visit me this week but I ended up bumping into him and making him fly away before I got a shot. 😦

#4 That is the most interesting iris! And such big blue skies you have. And I just realized I’m commenting on a different post than I am talking about! Oh dear. Love the dragon fly in this post.
