I captured this beauty on one of the Algonquin trails in 2006. My local newspaper editor told me that the red dragonflies are pretty rare, so this one is a treasure to me. I even researched the archives to find one and the only ones I found were dead and shrivelled up. The "RED DRAGON" was quite large so it was easily spotted and it sat so patiently as I snapped a few quick shots. I just love walking through nature and feeling it's presence. It's astounding how much beauty is out there. Copyright Janette Dengo 2007 All rights reserved. Unauthorized copying or use of image is prohibited. Thank you for visiting and viewing my work.

About the photo: In 2006 I've had her in our local newspaper as well, and it made a huge display with an article. This is the original shot and there was no digital enhancing done to this one, even though I was tempted. I'm proud of it just as it is.

I saw a red dragonfly last weekend while walking...never seen one in my lifetime (I'm 57). I got real close to it... Cool shot...Seth Weaver 06 Aug 2007
