Thanks, the color just helped it feel more "special"

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen one that big...and thanks for the nice words on my backyard...so much time and money gets dumped into that. I'm trying to make it my mini-hawaii. :-)

Yeah, I really like things like this...even though it just a bug...they're just so unusual, they need to be documented

Thanks, but not really...I've got way too much time and money dumped into that yard...

but tanks again for the offer... ;-)

Georgie...thanks but I don't deserve any such praise as long as Remyyy and C McC are at it on a daily basis. As a matter of fact I always think everybody's videos are sooo much better than what I choose to post.

My goal is to try to always do better but my results always vary...

There's just something about dragonflies that is so cool.

Actually i live in Huntington Beach but work in Costa Mesa but to answer your question, Peika...Yup!

Thanks, Capucha..by the way, what is the word for them in French?

"Libellule" :) (lee-bay-lul ) (well, almost, I'm not good at writing in phonetics :D)
I bet this one is not very easy for you to pronounce ;-)

That is hard... does it mean or translate anything close to "Dragonfly"?

Absolutely not ! Actually, it doesn't mean anything else than its name...The sound of it in french is quite aerial, and evokes fragility. It's musical too. Makes me think of a xylophone. It could be like the word "Lullaby" in english too, soundly speaking. Very opposite of the word DragonFly, actually !

Thanks Capucha...that is what I love about this site. I'm learning all kinds of new things everyday!

It was so cool to see it in our backyard especially after we've worked hard to make it look like our own little "Hawaii"...the dragonfly just seemed to be a finishing touch!
