Took medium telephoto and extension tubes for a walk along the property line. Dragonflies, bees, and butterflies were plentiful. For now I'm posting 3 images. Will post more tomorrow. Please try the downloads.

Very nicely done, Jim. Sleeting here at the moment, so any dragonfly activity has been severely curtailed. Not that there was any. : (

Good grief Randy, this has now gone too far..Move into spring, that's an order LOL. Wouldn't you like it to be that easy. Thanks so much for the visit and the kind words. Truthfully I sincerely hope you get a break on this global warming soon. :-D :-D

Very nice, Jim. #1 & #3 are nice & sharp, but #2 is a tad soft. Not an easy exercise, so well done. :-) :-)

Thanks Earl and you are right on # 2, the wind was whipping out pretty good and I think it affected the shot by moving the subject just out of focus as I squeezed the trigger. These were hand held also, so might just be me and my old age. Thanks for looking and for the nice comment. Really appreciated.

Thank you Bob, I will say sir that extension tubes opens up a whole realm of photography here-to-fore not explored. I love them. Thank you for your visit and for the very nice comment my friend. :-D :-D
