There, on the end of a long arm of purple...

Sat this beauty; catching the sunlight in his wings as he stared me down.

It's interesting, if I spot a flying insect and attempt to approach it by first kneeling down and inching closer, then raising my camera... It's gone before I even get to the camera part.  However, I've noticed that I have much more success if I start with the camera to my face (focus), kneel, (focus), crawl (focus), inch closer (focus, refocus, refocus, make adjustments...); they tend to stay put more often than not.  

Now do you think that they:  A) See their own reflection in the lens and are curious?  B) Think I look like a bug with one big eye?  C) Or are laughing so hard that they just can't seem to move?

See the laughter in his eyes in Large. ;-)

PS  Happy Father's Day to my wonderful dad and to my sweet Hubs and fathers everywhere!
