Dragonfly

While walking in Alton Baker Park I saw this dragonfly flew by me. It wouldn't cooperate so that I could get a good shot, so I exposed a few frames anyway. It landed in a very inaccessible place. I had to reach through some blackberry vines to get a shot. So the two or three images I shot were not the best. I was still determined to get some kind of image out of it, and ended up with this.

Little things are also very cooperative. I do like how the wings turned out.
