Gatchering sun on the pink sleeve

Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 11 October 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

It was a sunny day, but a temperature of the day was about 10 Celsius.
This dragonfly found a warmest place on my arm.
I have to say, that I liked it :).

Great shot Leena I don't think I would have been composed enough to take a photo if 1 landed on my arm

@jamesy: It was a little difficult, because the dragonfly was on the side of my arm :)
I am satisfied with the result.
Thank you for your comment!

Leena, I keep losing your blog site. May I put it on my links so I can easily find you again?! I love the shot and Alice is correct: the dragonfly on the pink is outstanding. I'm going back now to see the slide show of Kiki, my favorite Finnish dog!

Hi Leena! Sorry for the long delay in coming here, but these last weeks have been hectic; no, I’m not talking about the financial/economic crisis… ;))
This macro is awesome! A bit scary, even...
Meanwhile Blogtrotter is now on its 200th post: «The Libyan Sea»! Hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend!
