Community pictures? 🤗

JFD12 — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 01:46:43 GMT

Would anyone mind that I share some pictures? I might have to break it up because I have no idea how many pictures I can post at one time. I will post first some pictures from my yard. 😍

The dragonfly is stunning!

We have them here in Oregon, but they are electric blue. Where are you taking these?

hello @timeless Thank you so much! I have a pool in my yard and so many dragonflies are flying around! I love them! I live on the North Shore, just outside of Boston. I cannot ever remember seeing a bright red dragonfly! ❤️ They dip into my pool constantly... but have never seen red!

@JFD12 - One of the reasons I love summertime is because of the green grass and flowers. These pictures are just lovely. The dragon fly and bird pics put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing.

@JFD12 - WOW! Stunning is definitely the word for those dragonfly photos!

What did you take them with? We have thousands of dragonflies around us right now. We nicknamed our home Dragonfly Alley years ago because of the thick clouds of them every summer. 20 acres and fields of wildflowers are responsible for that. We love watching them.

I've taken some photos in the past but haven't managed it this summer. But none to compare to those you've shared.

What a great post! (Love the flowers and the hawk, too!)

@Venezia thank you so much! ❤️ I take alll my pictures with my cell phone... this version is the Samsung Galaxy S24 plus. I have had this phone for maybe almost two years now? I have never had an IPhone, nor do I ever want one. Ì am a Samsung girl forever! But... my iPad is my iPad and I will never switch. I do believe the Samsung phones outdo the Apple phones. My opinion only.

They are laying their eggs in the water. I have sat by my pool and they will come land on my toes!

@JFD12 These photos are so beautiful! Ok, my next phone will be the Samsung Galaxy! I take pictures of my flowers all the time and none are this good. Thank you for sharing.

@JFD12 - Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures! You are a great photographer! I look forward to seeing more!

Like you, I have a Galaxy (older version) and an iPad, and I love both. DH and I both have Samsung phones. Our children keep trying to get us to switch to iPhones, but we're staying strong. LOL!

One thing I've noticed is our phones last longer than theirs. I've heard iPhones are programmed to give out after a time. IDK if that's true.

@beach-mom @gtx Thank you both, so much! My younger son understands tech way more than I do. He says the exact thing about the Apple products that... well, you get to a point and things start degrading. Not sure if true but it definitely seems that way. I have never have any interest in an iPhone. I love my Samsung Galaxy phones and will never switch. 💚

DH and I both retired from China Lake, which at one time (30 yrs ago??)was the biggest single user of Apple products. Shortly after that we both switched to primarily Samsung ( but I love my Fire tablets). We would never switch back to Apple.

@JFD12 These are gorgeous photos!! They would make fabulous post cards and framed photos 🤗. I love the incredible details in the close up of the dragonfly: the sparkly wings and the little arms and legs. Gorgeous colorful flowers and a cute hawk flying high! Great shots, JFD12 🙂.
