When I was a little girl, dragonflies used to scare me. If they landed on me, I would go screaming bloody murder to my mother. Now I pursue them and try to examine all their detail....go figure!
Love these macros..you know if the dragonflies landed on you as a kid, that was a good omen..they say if they land on you, you'll have good luck and that you are a very blessed person!
Great shots Shelley. I remember being afraid of dragonflies when I was younger too. And now I do the same thing, hunting them down to try and capture an image of them. It is funny how our interests change over time.
My oldest daughter is scared of butterflies, of all things. I remember when were young catching dragon flies for bait. I can't imagine doing that now. Bees are my big fear. Loved your close-up photos. Blessings, Marcia

Beautiful photos Shelley. I have always loved butterflies and dragonflies. Look at the wings on the dragonfly...amazing!
I can't believe you were ever afraid of dragonflies. So funny.
They are gorgeous. Great photos Shelley!
Beautiful photo Shelley. We have many of these but I am never able to get a decent photo!!! Have a nice week.
How can you not love any post that starts, "When I was a little girl..."
I am going to blog that very topic inspired by you.
I love the butterfly. Unfortunately, dragonflies still scare me to this day! :) Gorgeous nonetheless though!
Great photos, Shelley! I love all the intricate details.

Hi Shelley, I still don't care much for Dragonflies --but I love Butterflies. Thanks for sharing.

These pictures are absolutely amazing. All of the detail. I don't know how you get so close. Beautiful!

Lovely photographs. I also feared dragonflies when I was a girl. I'd grab a lizard, but ran just like you from dragonflies.
