'Tis a cacophony of colour!!! Patterns of color and nature. Even in larger patterns you see very well...I would NOT have caught this and I pride myself in catching the not so obvious. Very nicely seen Ulla...and I am so happy to be your neighbor on this lovely Monday!

Hallo Ulla
Time is not on my side, but Trek Nature and all its beauty is an addiction. Just a few words........
You have really done yourself proud with this super macro posting. It is so close it is actually in my face. Wonderful and sharp details displayed and presented in a most proffesional manner. Super sharp and clear focus in this lovely close-up. The clarity of the hairs is great. Congratulations. Kind regards and thanks for sharing.

Hi Ulla,

I can't imagine being able to tickle a dragonfly! This is an amazing close-up with great details of the head, every hair, and the body. The poor bee looks huge! Wonderful colors and so many of them. I'm glad you posted the workshop - I really like seeing the whole dragonfly with the wonderful wings.

Hi Ulla,
of course you are the dragonfly expert of long standing, and this latest post shows your prowess again: an interesting species, a close-up that shows the wonderful eyes and some "action", just great. What shall I say more?
My best regards to you

Oh wow Ulla, this is getting very close to the action. You have picked up incredible detail on this shot of the dragonfly with the bee, even the thorns on the brambles seem huge and the dragonfly seems positively hairy.

Thanks, John

Hi Ulla

It's really nice to browse through your gallery again! It's been a while...what can i say: work work :((

Anyway, it's great to see you get such beautiful subjects up there and also kind ones (like this one) who let you come so close to them :)
You were lucky to find one so "passionate" about its meal and let you close in so much, but you took the best of the conditions and came back with a splendid macro!
The details and colors are very sharp and nice, making all the markings on its body so well visible. Great job!
I also took some nice shots of the same species just before going to England...perhaps i will upload one in the near future :)

Bravo and TFS
