Orange Dragonfly (Neon Skimmer) holding onto the end of a dead branch.

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera, because the hindwing is broader than the forewing. The dragonfly is agile in-flight and able to move in all six directions, at up to 45 miles per hour. It can hover like a helicopter, yet fly backwards like a hummingbird, fly straight up, down, or to either side. Adult dragonflies are characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, sometimes with colored patches, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are agile fliers while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colors making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly eye has nearly 24,000 ommatidia (cluster of photoreceptor cells surrounded by support cells and pigment cells).

MY ARTWORK: I work in photography and watercolor painting. As you can see from my many Collections/Galleries, I see art and beauty in a wide variety of subjects. My interests vary from natural scenes including unaltered landscapes, to macro photography, to odd and unusual objects (some of which are hard to identify in photos - thus creating interest), to highly digitized abstract art. If you are in need of something special, or see something that you would like altered to fit your decor/style, please send me a private message or e-mail me through this site. If you have any problems on how to mat and frame a print, or have questions on the selection of print finishes available, please e-mail me through this site. You can follow...
