This guy/gal hung out hovering in the driveway for a few minutes. I was washing dishes in the kitchen, and there it was. I thought it would go away before I could dry my hands and grab my camera. But it was still there, darting around a 10 cubic meter area, so I dried my hands and grabbed the camera. … I was focusing, and getting the exposure right, and I shot this Image before it finally darted away. … If I had moved sooner, like when I first saw the insect, I would have many images to choose from. As it is, theis is the best out of a five image burst. … And, so it goes.
