To Ride a Dragonfly's Wing

Many, many moons ago, I was a field tech for an Entomology professor.  I was asked to go take photos of the trees at the field sites.  I got to play with the Canon with a macro lens!  And of course I abused the privilege, and took some pictures for me.  Some cool bugs were flying around the swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), and I snapped a few.  Here's the dragonfly, and it seems he's giving his friend a lift.

You can tell this is a homemade image by the really poor focusing and the questionable composition.  But, hey, it's all I got at the moment.  It a big image, but you have to click to see that.
