This dragonfly played tag with my lens for at least thirty minutes after setting up and waiting. I had become aware of this guy zipping around the area, but always returning to the same clover. So, I set up carefully, manipulating the tripod upside down, extension tube, filters etc., while figuring that I had permanently scared him off and that there was no way that he would alight atop my chosen clover. He zipped near and away, prepared to land then changed his mind. Back and forth he teased until ... finally he lit... and I clicked.

On this page is
one of hundreds of Earth Image Photography, Nature Photography images created
over more than thirty years. There are human interest photographs, humorous
photographs, photojournalism photography, great autumn leaf scenes and closeups
of autumn leaves. Time exposure photography is a large part of the collection
along with nature photography closeups. Wildflower images and snowy winter scenes
and soothing photographs, they're all here. Books are on this site too: We Boiled
Up a Sheet takes place near the duxburynorthpool, and My Summer Office is an
entertaining recounting of summers on the Wisconsin River inside and around
Sonbeam's Secret Channel. Enjoy the wealth of imagery to be found on the
Earth
Image Nature Photography site, both in photography and prose.
