I admire the patience it takes to get shots like this Smiley I couldn't do it even if I had the right gear.

I do not fish.  I don’t have the patience to wait and watch a fish line.  But I could watch dragonflies for hours and never get bored.  This one shot was probably one of fifty or more that were deleted—and I am not happy with it—but it was the best I could do with the lens I had to work with.  Digital is great—never would have tried this with a film camera.  And I vividly remember that day even now, as there were a bunch of them just flitting around and I was SO amused by it all.  When we first started canoe tripping in 1971 I was scared of the dragonflies.  I was dodging them and squealing my “bug squeal”, sure that they were going to do me harm.  Spartan1 laughed and explained to me that they eat mosquitoes, and they are our friends, as well as being incredibly beautiful.  I soon learned to love them in all of their stages of life, and to also love to photograph them.  One time a big darner lit on my shoulder and rode across a portage with me.  I was moved to tears.  My portfolio now probably has a thousand dragonfly photos, and I have several of them hanging on the wall in both my home and my lake home.  One of God’s most gorgeous creatures, IMHO.

You might not be going tripping anymore but you can still take those Dragon Flies with you to keep the skeeters at bay  Wink Grin

Are you guys seeing the same POD I am?  Surely, Jimbo, you don't want to see the smoke from a VERY close forest fire when you enter the park??  We were one day away from being caught in the fire when it completely engulfed Kawashachong Lake where we had been camped.  (Previous POD).  I later read a story online of the people who camped there the day after we left, and it was hair-raising!  They sheltered under their canoe in the middle of the lake with fire surrounding them on all sides.  Watching those clouds of smoke from our campsite on Kawishiwi Lake on our last day of the trip was very scary.  Our closest call ever.
