“Yellow Dragon”
“Time is for dragonflies and angels. The former live too little and the latter live too long.”
– James Thurber
Here’s another companion from my orchid hike. A beautiful yellow dragonfly, sunning itself in the warm trailside sunshine. If someone could help me out with its identification, that would be appreciated.
I’ve had varying luck photographing dragonflies, and this is my first shot of one using my 90mm macro lens. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. The light was just right to highlight the veining in its wings.

Gorgeous Dragonfly! And the quote made me laugh out loud. ❤ 🙂
Thank you. I came across the quote a while ago and was looking for an appropriate post 🙂
Wow great macro shot, like the clarity! 🙂
Thank you Raj. Shooting handheld with a slight breeze made it ‘interesting’. A single shot, then it flew away 🙂
Some times we are lucky! just one shot one kill..:)
Stunning!!
Thank you
Fabulous shot!
Thank you
Amazing photo, Ed! Dragonflies are flighty and delicate…hard to “catch”, no doubt.
It helps when they sit, even briefly.
Wow, gorgeous photo!! 😍
Thank you
