THis is post 12 today I think….. I will miss posting this weekend mostly however. Don’t expect much here from me as I’ve got ranch guests and they deserve 100 percent of my attention while they are here. 

Anyhow, I’m on the hunt for these guys. This was taken with completely the wrong lens holding the camera on a fixed focus about where I thought it belonged and put the camera on machine gun mode slowly moving the camera toward the dragon fly clicking 10 frames a second as it moved…..(this guy is maybe 1/2 inch long) Had to get the camera within the roughly 9 inch minimum focus for this camera. I got this as the best focus result out of about 30 images. It’s amazing it stayed there but it was very windy so it probably did not register this huge lens in it’s face as a threat as everything was moving in the breeze (grass reeds etc).. ….. I couldn’t look through the camera to focus it as it was at full arms length over a body of water….. Focus depth is maybe half an inch deep……
