Photo Opportunities come at the oddest times. I was washing dishes when I noticed this little guy flew up and stuck on a plant. The colors in the bubble were reflections on the floaties outside the window in the pool.

This is a beauty, Cheryl. You have a great eye. I wonder if you considered lassoing the shadowed section on the left and brightening up the color in that area a bit? #3661226Cheryl E. Molennor December 03, 2006
Hey Judith, thanks for the comment, and you know what? I never even noticed that dumb shadow and I'm sure that would help alot. I will work on that asit would be a great improvement. Thanks #3661580Judith MacArthur December 03, 2006
