Description
I love photographing dragonflies. The transparency of their wings are beautiful, and they are so strange looking up close. It is a challenge to find them, and then to catch them in flight is even more difficult.
This red dragonfly, also know as Cardinal Meadowhawk and Sympetrum illotum, made it all pretty easy. I had just finished photographing one on a dead plant, when I saw this one on my car's antenna. I've noticed the red ones are much easier to find settled on a plant than the blue eyed darner.
Nature, animals, beauty have always been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes what I capture as an inspiration to create something new.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
