This image will always have great meaning to me. My Mother recently passed away, and I was particularly despondent on Easter morning, so I decided to take refuge in nature. Within fifteen minutes God allowed me to discover an inactive Black Swallowtail on this cloudy, dreary day. I was even able to use a reflector on the insect, which they usually don't tolerate very well. I have made some very wonderful finds lately in nature which seem to communicate that things will eventually get better. |

I was purely delighted when I found this dragonfly clinging on a Mexican Hat flower! I have been lucky to discover dew-laden dragonflies, but not one in such an extremely pleasant setting as such. |

Three weeks previous to this shoot, I was experiencing a "photography slump." I was extremely elated when I discovered this dragonfly in a peaceful meadow! I tried different compositions, but this image seems to convey the sense of tranquility I felt. |
