The mini-dragonfly

Taken with my iPhone in our carport as we were leaving home. This was the tiniest dragonfly I’ve ever seen, and it wasn’t bothered by my getting in its face for a picture. Unfortunately, it was gone when we got back, so I couldn’t get my “real” camera for a better shot.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Helen you did great with the phone can just picture you taking this close up . Maybe that explains the expression on his face. Vote
