Dragonflies

Sorry, I am in central Minnesota. I have not had time to look these up to find the name or species. Certainly had fun taking them. Hope to get out again soon.

Thanks, Mike! Ours were about 3 weeks behind in coming out, but now are out by the thousands.

I belive this is a Roseate Skimmer, at least it was pinkish when I saw it

One of your best ever, Mike. The extra depth of field from the smaller sensor in the Coolpix helped with this shot!

hate to say this mate @mikew but you seem to be getting better shots with your p610, they look really sharp

Thanks Roy,i understand its shortcomings more now but am pleasantly surprised at what it can do,i think i will be looking at the P900 when they are available with 33% more zoom.
