Dragonfly

I don’t have a macro lens, but I can crop. Who cares if it’s a little on the soft side? This is a couple of dragonflies mating on a stalk of desert wheat. It’s a soft subject.

    I hate to tell ya this, buddy…they’re damselflies…

    not dragonflies.

    ” As adults, it is also fairly easy to tell damselflies and dragonflies from one another. The damselfly has a very long, slender abdomen and, when not flying, usually holds its long stiff wings together with tips touching over its back. The dragonfly generally has a plumper appearing abdomen and when resting, holds its wings straight out from its body in the same position as in flight.”
