Picture of the Day - Dragonfly Encounter

A short time ago I was in my kitchen and something outside my window grabbed my attention. There was a large dragonfly hugging the end of my Volvo's radio antenna. The creature continued to maintain that position long enough for me to get out my camera, switch to my telephoto lens, and snap several images through my somewhat dirty kitchen window. Note the wing structure details visible here. Photo by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).
