I was out picking raspberries and saw a couple dragonflies zooming around the leaves. I ran back inside to get my camera, hoping there would be one left to shoot. This one was just sitting on a leaf, I snapped about six pictures and this was the best one.
It's pretty hard to see exactly what to focus on, so I need more practice with macro:)

While I was outside on this beautiful day, I looked
around for other shots. I'm not sure what this
plant/tree/bush thing is, but the berries (not edible)
were really pretty! |

This picture was taken a few days before the others, at a friend's house on North Battle Lake. It is the wheel of the dock, they have to pull the dock up out of the water each winter so the ice doesn't damage it. Just thought it was pretty neat:)

The corn here in Minnesota is tasseling and is very beautiful! The golden corn and the bright blue sky before sunset was a wonderful contrast! Had to on the car bumper to get the depth better:)
That's all Flashed for now!

Yes, the dragonfly is great but for shallow depth of field, my favorite is the bee on the flower with beautiful out-of-focus colors behind it.
I love the 4th photo, enjoyed them all. and some of my best photos are lucky shots - the best are the surprises.
have a great weekend.
Love your dragonfly.
Thank you everyone! I'm glad you enjoyed my photos!

Lovely shots. For shallow depth of field, the bee works delightful. I'm a sucker for dragonflies and really love the wide open field of corn with that magnificent sky.
Love the bee shot. He arrived just in time to be in focus - fantastic!
