thought I'd set the ball rolling. This beautiful little critter was buzzing me on a nile cruise and stopped for a rest just in time for me to grab my camera

Very well done last month CC. This sampler is superb. Glad you can't take part this month or I would already be waving a white flag :)

Absolutely stunning CC :) I saw one of these dragonflies and ran off to get my camera, when I came back it had gone :(

just used my kodak digital slr on macro setting, sometimes it's really difficult to focus but that day it turned out great. It's a great camera but lets me down if I use flash, the fall off is to quick, otherwise it's my best buy camera wise
