All Creatures Great and Small

I find dragonflies rather horrifying to look at...


... yet rather fascinating at the same time.

Thank goodness for a good zoom on my camera which allowed me some distance between this huge dragon fly that I found perched on a rock along the river in "our woods".

All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all."

  1. You got an excellent shot! We have a robin's nest in our hanging basket out front. The babies just hatched. I really want to get a picture but it requires too much maneuvering to get it so I'll leave Momma bird to her babies. Such an amazing thing to watch though!

  6. We don't have a lot of dragonflies around so I confess I'm usually just fascinated by them! Terrific capture!
