Wonderful capture. I had to enlarge the photo to see the dragonfly, but it's there! I'm surprised one of the birds hadn't already made a meal of it... maybe dragonflies taste bad. :)

Julie said...

Ah, yes ... got him! The tiny dragon fly ... well captured. And the twigs on which they rest have a beauty of their own.

I love those little Weaver birds. Such thin stalks for such a gathering. Great capture. I'm enjoying being a part of SWF, such talent.

The dragonfly had better watch out, he may become dinner!
