Framed

Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 16 June 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Dragonflies are out now also. The great mosquito eaters that they are. I hope they are hungry this year. There seems to be more mosquitos than dragonflies. I just wish I was more knowledgeable on their different types. I should probably acquire a book.
I could not help but notice its wings. The light shining through made them stand out so much.
I do apologize. I've had some long days and short nights. Been pretty busy. That's new for me. I will catch up with everyone when I get a free moment. Please continue to visit and comment. It is important to me to know what you think about my work.

Thank you for visiting my site. I consider myself to be lucky living where I do. Everyday I wake up to a wealth of interesting visual scenarios.

I like it. Also here we have long days and short nights, but it is due to geographical location. LOL.

To be honest, I don't think the faux frames helped your photos at all - they look great without - but this one works well with the image. :^)
