I was waiting in the parking lot for my husband at his doctor's office and in flies this beautiful dragon. Unfortunately, he managed to lodge himself right into the dashboard of the car. I knew I had to rescue him but I also HAD to take a photo of him. After tearing everything apart on my dashboard I rescued Mr. Dragon without hurting one single hair on his head or legs. He flew away so fast he nearly hit my face on the way out of the car. How's that for saying thank you? LOL!

Oh, those eyes! Wonderful macro, Debbie, and
I'm glad he was unharmed..maybe he was trying
to give you a dragonfly kiss of gratitude on
his way out. Congratulations on your AC!

About stoneygirl
stoneygirl My name is Debbie and I live in Central Massachusetts. I am a mom of 2, a grandma to Jace and a "Mama Stone" (as I'm called) to about 25 rental kids as I call them. I consider myself to be a serious maybe even (as all my kids would say, "Obsessed" photographer. If it moves I photograph it, if breaths I photograph it, if it doesn't breath I photograph it and if it doesn't move I photograph it even more. Ok, so my kids are right, I'm obsessed. I never leave home with out it, my camera that is. I've always loved photography but as I've headed into my mid-life crisis period I have begun to open my eyes to more of the wonder around me. Why it took so long I don't know but look out world I have arrived. Now I have a thirst to make up for lost time and I love Wunderground and all of the wunderful photographers I get to share my world with. I absolutely love seeing everyone�s photos from around the world and for that I thank all of you for your wonderful generosity for sharing them with me and us on this great site. Smile say cheese now!!Large Visitor Globe
