Dragonfly Season

When I was little and living in Montana, I remember a certain time of year when there were multitudes of dragonflies flitting through the clear, dry, sunshiny air, in metallic colors of red, blue, and green.  I called that time of year Dragonfly Season.

I visited Brazos Bend State Park the other day.  It was a lovely, sunny, non-humid day in southeast Texas, where egrets and herons populated the sky and dragonflies of all hues skimmed the air.

Must be Dragonfly Season.

None of these photos were taken with a dedicated macro lens (I don’t own a macro lens).  For this day, I just took a single lens, the Canon 70-200 L USM II f2.8 attached to my Canon 5D Mark II body.  The nice thing about a full-frame camera is that you can really crop those babies and still get a nice image with decent resolution.
