Yes ms. ArtSparker, The first image is the shell of a water bug that the dragonfly emerges out of! If lucky enough to come upon one that is emerging I highly recommend staying for the entire birth! It is cranialsacral slow, but hey it rocks ones world!
Oh, she is beautiful! I cannot wait for ours to arrive - last year the lilies they call home didn't bloom, and we had very few. But this year, the lilies are about to burst - red dragonflies will soon follow. A sign of summer.
Awesome shots. I love dragonflies. There are so many different varieties & they are so graceful & beautiful. Wonderful shots and words to go along with them. Thanks for your kind comment on my skywatch photo. Photoshop helped out a little.
Dragonflies are like magic and your photos capture that essence. So very, very lovely. Perhaps I will go and listen to Michael Franks' "Dragonfly Summer" now...
Wonderful! I love it when dragonflies come to visit...just watching their amazing stunt filled flight is a treat...symbolically when they show up and fly around you they ask that you cut through illusions and pay close attention to what is really going on....a reminder to listen closely to our intuition. hug, hug

Capturing the beauty of our natural world with photography is a great passion for me, as well as my business; Spirithelpers. You can find my webstore at: www.spirithelpers.net
It is my attempt to capture a spirit that uplifts and ignites the majesty in our hearts.

Wow, ravishing photos. It took me a minute to realize the first one was a skeleton.

Oh Tammie, how do you manage such fantastic macros? Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, she is beautiful! I cannot wait for ours to arrive - last year the lilies they call home didn't bloom, and we had very few. But this year, the lilies are about to burst - red dragonflies will soon follow. A sign of summer.

I love macro images. These ones are fantastic. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
ReplyDeleteWow - how wonderful. I especially love the first one. It reminds me of an armored car.
ReplyDeleteCiel,
ReplyDeleteI use a macro lens. But I must be honest and say since I do not use a tripod it is not that easy to use!
Debi,
The energy of your comment touched me. I agree they are a sign of summer.
Ces,
Lovely to have you visit.
Purest Green,
Armored indeed, protecting the enchanting being within!

ReplyDeleteOMG Tammie - these are amazing - I try to catch bugs - so I know how very hard these shots were - amazing - but you always are!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sarah
Fantastic macros! (Thank you for visiting my page allowing me to find your's :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing your dragonfly photos with us. But they really should be gracing the pages of National Geographic!
ReplyDeleteOh my favorite! What incredible photos you captured! Thank you for this today!
ReplyDeleteTammie: Those are beautiful captures of the dragonflies. I had one land on my boat today but didn't stay long enough to capture a photo.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots! The season of dragonflies seems very enlightening. Have a great weekend, Tammie :).
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie, Great photos of the Dragonflies... The macros are fabulous. My hubby takes alot of macro shots--but my little camera won't do it!!!!

These insects are really amazing. They seem to love their lives somehow. Perhaps because they linger.
ReplyDeleteDragonflies are like magic and your photos capture that essence. So very, very lovely. Perhaps I will go and listen to Michael Franks' "Dragonfly Summer" now...
ReplyDeletethose are great shots. i especially like the second one.
