I keep thinling I want to get a new DX camera but just can't come up with a good reason, so I just keep shooting away!

This is the only dragonfly of this color I spotted and it was about 20ft away when I took this picture. Shot with my D600 camera at 600mm with my Tamron lens.

Thanks Marilynne! Most of the dragon flies around here are the light blue color.

We get lots of colored dragonflies. I think the roseate (pink) skimmer is the prettiest.

A week ago this was a home for some pileated woodpeckers and now seems to be taken over by squirrels.

I'm back from vacation and have a portrait of something a little different. I was only about two feet away when I took this photo.

Pat, my wife and I had a great time in Branson as we always do. We have been going up there on vacation for about forty years now and enjoy it every time.
