The eyes have it.

I just posted another nature photoalbum on the 8th elsewhere.
It contains 43 nature photos and one of a sexy gal in a kyak. shimmy

I have several dragonfly photos there and here is an extreme
close-up of one's face.
Like many insects, dragonflies have compound eyes.
It's almost like having thousands of eyes per eye.
If the eyes are the windows of the soul, they must have LOTS of souls. laugh
Each facet in the eye functions like a separate eye.
All this information is processed differently by their brain
to give very high resolution imaging.
It also results in them being able to detect motion
extremely well.

With no further ado, here's today's photo.
Once again, click on the photo to see the whole photo

Enjoy ! cheers

thatsthumbs up Jim, very cool..in my native language we call very cool and head banger girls - dragonflieslaugh so it's a kinda image i knowdancing laugh
We have a saying .... social butterflies.... for those with an overly active social life.
I like the nose; it looks like a lake at night with a background with a lining of trees and a moon rising behind the hill. What that red floating object over the lake is is unclear to me. Bit pink floyd style object over the water there i guess.

If the white under the "pink floyd album" picture nose is the rest of his face i would say that he hasn't had his morning shave yet. But i think there is i little smile on the mouth, i say he's a happy fly.

smile
I'm sure he is happy, as long as a frog doesn't get him. uh oh
yeah. looks like it's him, definitely he, such an unshaved facelaugh
Maybe female dragonflies LIKE that rough face look.
They see it several thousand fold. laugh

Those eyes look pretty scary at close up range Jim but I do love the colors....
Don't worry T. I won't let him hurt you. hug
Hi Jim,

Do you know how do they get that eyes colour?wave
Those things that have color are because they absorb some colors and reflect others. Sunshine has all the colors of the rainbow.
When that light reaches an object, some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. White objects reflect all, while black objects absorb all visible wavelengths. peace
