    Common Darter pair

    Common Darter pair by Carol Leather, on Flickr

    I took some shots of this pair of dragonflies from a standing position, then stepped closer and put my foot down a deep hole. After ending up on the ground I sat up and realized there was a much better view to be had from that position, with the backlighting lighting up the hairs. Luckily I didn't hurt myself. so the fall had a silver lining. :)
    Regards,

    Carol

      Not so much a silver lining as a gold one!

      Simply a quite remarkable shot...

            I would look out for deep holes in the future Carol, as that is superb.

                  What a beautiful image. I bet you made more effort to save your camera than yourself!

                    Thank you very much everyone. You are correct Jan, I was more worried about the camera than me. LOL. Luckily we both survived.
