this is so cool. Never seen this before. I've never gone to that park; is it better than Fairchild?

Yup, that's what they're doing alright! I always think it looks like they are filling up each other's gas tanks! (I know...I'm weird!)

Very cool image - lots of great action going on and perfect focus. You did this one all in one image? Excellent!

Mike, Fruit and Spice is a very big place, but we only work a little place. Lots of bugs. Fairchild doesn't have as many bugs in our experience.

Jules, one image.

Thanks!

A very nice capture of this mating behavior, Fabs. Good sharpness, DOF, and background. Sounds like you and Alfred have a great spot for insect photography. Also, these are damselflies rather than dragonflies. :) :) There are a number of species that are blue like this and they can be difficult to tell apart - something I have yet to learn.

I wonder who is filling whose gas tank...can't tell from the picture. Guess Julie is right then :D

Very sharp and clear image. The two damselflies together .form a shape that looks like the letter B flipped on the wrong side. :)

Wonderful shot. Great sharpness and detail and a wonderful BG. The square works perfect here.

Mental block last night , thanks for the clarification, Steve :)

Very unique capture Fabs. Well done. My only wish is that there was a bit more space at the top for composition purposes.
