Making new friends...

So I was walking out to my car to get my Mraz cd this morning to listen to whilst I demoed our front room for my new studio, and I saw a gorgeous little dragonfly chillin on one of our bushes. I went inside to get my camera assuming by the time I got back, he'd be gone. But, to my surprise, he was still there. So I stood behind a bush and got some shots of him using my macro setting, and went inside to check em out. They were good, but not great. So, again assuming he'd be gone, I went back out. He was still there. This time I got a bit closer and zoomed in real good on him. As I shot him, he winked at me! After I felt I had gotten some good ones, I went inside to check. Then I thought, that was fun maybe I'll take some more. When I went outside, he was still there, but had moved to one of our garlic plants. This time he let me get all up in his grill and I would take a few shots, then he'd fly up and reposition himself on the plant and I'd take some more. I swear he was modeling for me. He had the prettiest blue eyes. I hope they represent well in this photo. Never thought I would meet a new friend in my own front yard!
