I love "yours" very very much. That's what floating really means. Thanks for the link.

2. Teamster, your image is lovely.

[Solly Mack]

3. The Maine landscape is very pretty.

[alfredo]

5. I'm jealous Dyedinthewoolliberal. I have not been able to capture a dragonfly.

I don't have a good telephoto yet, and that is what is probably needed.

6. It just ain't been hot enough

when I was in the Florida Keys it was so hot they could barely drag their little butts into place to pose for my normal reg lens in the mode of little flower dial close up.
I am not kidding.

[alfredo]

8. I'll catch one of those buggers sometime.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

9. Wow alfredo

I consider that high praise! I got lucky. He was sitting there and I got about 2 feet away and stated clicking. It was a wonderful bit of serendipity

11. Once you show your intent, they start screwing with you. At least it feels that way.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

13. At fiirst I wondered if it was dead

because it sat there so long. But the day was warm and sunny so it was catchin' some rays I guess. When my daughter poked at it, ZOOM!

[alfredo]

14. I guess they sleep when they can.

[Solly Mack]

25. Yeppers. It's a great shot. It will do well.

[alfredo]

26. We all have poster's remorse.

[Solly Mack]

27. I decided last summer that as long as I was in LA that

Anoles would be my subject matter for "summer" contests. I had 2 to choose from this summer. Well, 2 that I really liked.

I'm happy with my anoles.

[alfredo]

28. Mine was convenient. I had just finished uploading it to flickr when I checked DU.

I liked it and posted it.


Not many people are happy with their anoles and try to have them removed or bleached.

[Solly Mack]

29. lololol! You made me giggle.

[alfredo]

30. GRIN

32. I wouldn't be too sure about that.

It's got great artistic elements and it is very cool besides

23. I really like the lines in the Hostas the eye is drawn

Deep into the image. It had to be B&W.
