Speechless Sunday ~ I have six legs but still can't walk!

Hey John, yes it's true but I'm guessing they don't mind :)

Well how kind of you Kathy! Now you understand why my legas hurt that evening, I need a fancy shamcy lens.

Hey Cheryl, we sound alike...count me on the rocks too! Thanks for compliment on the photo, I got lucky. It was fun day w/ 2 very fun friends at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

Yes I'm certainly in midst of a move but I'm still doing redesign & staging work until the moving truck pulls up, lol.

Hi Sharon, I was lucky I got 3 good shots of them darn dragonflies! I was with 2 great ladies that day and the silly one in our crowd snapped the one of me real fast!

I think you be right William! It looks like these winged creatures use them for gathering the nectar. I was watching the bees, butterflies & moths on my deck yesterday and from flower to flower they buzzzzed along. It was a good day!

I LOVE your avatar by the way, looks like you may an assistant w/ you :~D

Hey there Russell, it's going good here, yes I had to get close and squat because I don't have a fancy shamncy long lens...yet! You do the same and make it a safe one w/ you and your family :~)

Hi Kathy, well I have to tell you I'm kinda stubborn when I want to get my shot, no matter how long it takes. It was a bit difficult as those dragonflies would not stay in one spot like I asked them to, LOL. Thanks!

Yes sir you are correct indeed Sheldon just my Panasonic DMC-FZ28 w/ no zoom lens, hence the need for patience and getting up close & personal w/ the creature.

As the evening neared I kept think why does my bum and legs hurt so much because I knew had not worked out in the past 3 days!

Always a pleasure to see you and thanks so much for your kind words, much appreciated!!!

Hey Sheldon ask away, no worries here! I did use the built in zoom lens in the camera but did not use any additional type of lens zom or otherwise while taking this picture. That's why I had to get sooooo close!!! Sorry for the confusion.

I was using the close up setting w/ the flower icon and the IA intelligent auto setting for most pictures because I was snapping so fast I my brain couldn't keep up w/ changing settings :~D

I gotta say this is a great camera for the price and I can add a different lens & filter to it when $$$ permits.

More photos to come from my adventure to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Woo-Hoo!

Do drop by for any further questions Sheldon...next time tea & biscuits will be served, LOL!

Now I have type this to confuse you even more I cannot remember if it was the close up w/ the flower icon or the IA setting I used!!! Sorry :~(

My IA setting will only take clear zoom shots if I'm very still and don't breathe...hard to do w/out getting {{{{dizzy}}}}.....

....yes I know I've set myself up for that statement Sheldon. I didn't have my tripod w/ me so hence the half squat stance!!! One day I'll get to reading that owner's manual!!!

Yes I'll get right on with tea order :~D
