Rich, cool -- always glad to find other local Flickrers. As you probably know, if there's one way to stumble upon a boat-load of photo opportunities, it's to leave your camera at home! =) I bet some great shots could be had at Dick's as well -- looking forward to seeing what you capture, so don't forget to post a link for us! And feel free to add me as a contact on Flickr (username: John Alarcon)!
@Rich - Thanks! I am fascinated by dragonflies and other flying insects I didn't realize they were (loosely speaking) carnivorous and cannibalistic. That particular specimen was so enrapt in its meal that it didn't even care about me being inches away with a camera -- and as it ate the other dragonfly, another little gem of trivia surfaced: dragonflies are crunchy! If you like closeups of spiders and insects, check out my set of Spiders & Insects.
@lifeisgood - Thanks! I love the simplicity of the image and it's a real testament to the fact that a photo need not consist of much and can still be evocative and/or well-received!
Thanks much for letting me know which ones you guys like! There's also a thread for a slideshow of the Battle of Plattsburgh fireworks show -- including a video of the grand finale! Enjoy!
