This was taken at sunrise at Haleakala in Maui in September 2012. It is special because it looks surreal. As the sun was coming up a Hawaiin chant was spoken that added a very spiritual quality to the experience. Photo taken by Desert Ron (United States) - Travel/Vacation

In my back yard here in North Carolina, there are a few different kinds of dragonflies. I was amazed at this one letting me get so close to him. I was very careful and moved closer very slowly as I didn't want to scare him. Even if he flew off he would come right back. He didn't seem to mind me being there, so I was able to get close enough that his sectional eyes can be seen in the photo. Photo taken by Shirley Freeman (United States) - Nature
