Dragonfly Portraits

Have you ever looked at a bee or dragonfly up close? Perhaps not. They move so fast and unfortunately, some sting - hard! Fortunately for me (or not) I feel invincible when I have a camera in front of my face. I have been able to get some fantastic closeups of bugs, bees and dragonflies. AND some not so closeups of snakes!
As I was wondering in the park the other day (looking for something to shoot - with my camera) a dragonfly landed right in front of me. He was a vain little guy and willingly posed as I snapped pictures of him. He let me get within inches! He would just turn his little head as if to say, "What about this pose?" or "How about this?" I took so many pics that I finally walked away even though he was saying "Just one more! Please?"


Just looking at the detail in these tiny, little creatures makes me aware of how God is interested in every small detail of our lives. If He can take so much time to make this seemingly insignificant creature so beautiful, what can He do for us?!
