While I was watering the garden the other day, I saw land on one of the plants the dragonfly you see above. Unless my memory fails me, I do believe it is the largest one I have ever seen. When it had settled down on the branch, I just knew I had to take a picture of it, so I ran inside and retrieved my camera to snap this shot. I then went around to the front of the house to try and get a picture of the dragonfly from behind, but as I got into position to take the picture, it suddenly took off.

Nice shot. But how big was it? :)
Hi Tina. I'm guessing the wingspan was about 4 inches or so.
Yep, that's pretty big. :)
Ahh, Tina, I'll bet you say that to all the guys. ;)
I am TERRIFIED of dragonflies! If one comes too close to be I spaz out! There is something about their fat bodies, their bug eyes, shiver shiver!
