Camera Critters #126



Camera Critters is a weekend meme, about what else but critters, created my very own BBFF, Misty.


So I'm in the kitchen making lunch and all I hear is kids screaming like little girls. Okay so one of the kids was a little girl, but the other two was a little boy and a teen aged girl. I run in expecting to see someone missing a limb because the scream was so loud and all I found was this guy flying around the TV room and kids screaming because of it. When it finally landed I took a picture of course and then gently picked it up in a bag and released it outside. Sure the dragonfly was huge, but it was just a dragon fly not a real dragon and I'm still not sure why they were freaked out so much. Oh well, kids eh!

Looks like a Darner. They are really big. I'm rubbing off on my BBFF cuz now she's taking pictures of bugs. hehe

I hope everything is OK and you've still got power!!! Thinking of you!

Wow that sure was a big one. Very pretty in it's own way though.

Still, you'd have missed it if the kids hadn't screamed! :) I saw one very much like this last weekend, but it didn't stop anywhere for me to take any pictures.

Hiya Tammy,
That is so pretty.
And I'm glad it happened indoors, so we got to see your lovely fabric as well. The kids will know better next time :-)
