The Lethargic Dragon

While investigating my Japanese Magnolia to see if it held any photo ops, I was delighted to discover this tiny little dragon. He was completely unflustered by my presence.
Uncropped. Shot w/100mm lens. I was totally in his face. He didn't care.

I think he was smiling for the camera.

Another uncropped. How do you stop shooting when they are letting you so close and being so still?

Sherry, WOW!!! Like you asked, "How do you stop shooting when they are letting you so close and being so still?" I never do.

I've noticed that Blue Dashers usually allow a closer approach than other dragons. What beautiful shots of your little buddy, Sherry. This one seems to be very pleased to pose. I think I detect a grin in the last shot.

Great shots, sometimes they will pose nicely!
Thanks, nimbus! He was quite sluggish on our cloudy day.

Thanks for the wow, Greg! I do have a lot of shots - with very few poses since he so rarely moved.
