Dragonfly




I "caught" this dragon-fly in the garden hovering near the tomato plants.

Pretty interesting structure of the wing.

Dragon-flies start their life in water. Their eyes are designed to capture motion in the close proximity. They have compound eyes. So, they offer excellent subjects for taking picture from a few feet away as long as you can stand still and have a good zoom lens on your camera.
