We share that fascination milady.
In fact when I got my first camera a wise man told me to practice by taking photos of dragonflies. That's exactly what I did for about a year, as there were many ponds and dams near us. My one rare dragonfly photo even made its way into a USA wildlife magazine.
They are fierce little critters, but it's their agility in flight and their florescent colors that holds me entranced!
