Today’s featured photo is chosen from ViewBug (The World’s Best Photo Contests) community.

This picture was taken at a little man made lake in Victoria BC. The lake is stocked and a place where kids can go learn to fish.. and there is an abundance of creatures that make it their home. I love Macro and as I was searching for interesting things to snap, I saw this small dragonfly in a spiders web. I pulled it out and took a few minutes to get all the web off its wings.. the little guy must have been tired from struggling as it sat for a few minutes on my finger. Normally I am not a fan of fingers in pictures, but this time it worked :)Taken with a Pentax K10D and my fav Pentax Macro lens. Aperture: f/2.8, ISO: 200, Exposure: 1/500? -JustConnieB

What a fun story and photograph! I wish my K10D still worked… I’m inspired to dust off my Pentax 100mm macro and see what I can create.
