Who captured whom? :-P

right kyricom, it was so scary and its diameter is almost 6inch. I was afraid to capture it.

Spiders really are amazing looking things, when you get up close, must try it.

6 inches!!! Man, I am so glad I live in the UK.
Must dig out some spider pics tomorrow, we have some mean 1 inch ones here...

Photograph is very light. also there are 3 purple things in the photo.

i though it must count as one....

This is a much nicer photo. You would have benefited from using a fill in flash, so the background wouldn't be so blown, (too light)

thnx friskiwi

What a wonderful colour, never knew dragonflies came in so many styles.

Thank you. I was amazed too when i started shoting them. This one in particular is so small and just looks like a stick flyin around the yard is very hard to find but so neat to see when you do. I was lucky this year to find two different colors of them.

Oh and to give you an idea of how small they are...that is one blade if st augustine grass. Lol

Wonderful color! Great shot author!

that is mind blowing for me...!

The fact that you own a Homer doll just dropped you a few pegs Author..... And here I thought you might amount to something

aargh, where's the thumbs down button when you need it?! You're way out of line locks!

LOL...I know what you mean author, I carry something similar in my camera bag for photographing young children...never underestimate the value of a stuffed helper to get their attention...plus, after a long shoot, you have someone to complain to that won't tell you to "shut up and quit whining!"
