GREEN THUMB SUNDAY

I'd never seen a red dragonfly before Thursday when I wandered outside during a break in the punishing rainstorms to find this on a bean leaf:

Highly likely that this will be a calendar shot (it's a different bean leaf): 

I had a really hard time narrowing down the 50+ in focus shots to these three: 

So you have an idea of the scale...note the dragonfly on the leaf a little more than half way down: 

Gardeners, plant and nature lovers can join in Green Thumb Sunday every week. Visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

It's also the first time I've ever seen a red one myself. It's quite beautiful, and your photos are excellent.

Aiyana -- Thanks! I've asked a lot of people and they've never seen a red one before either. I'm so glad I saw it and got to my camera in time.
