As I rounded a turn on the Cheston path, something turquoise and lime fluttered on the path. I took the photo, poorly. My first snap of an Eastern Pondhawk, barely recognizable in the blurry image. I didn't know the dragonfly, and I didn't know the camera.

Another adolescent male Pondhawk flitted down in front of me, this time on the pebble path at the golf course. Now I know the dragonfly and the camera. Both are sharp -- in the image and in my mind.

With a friend's new Leica, I used the superzoom to hone in on yet another adolescent Pondhawk. I didn't have to lean in and compromise the light as I must do with the Canon. The image quality is equal to that of the Canon, and maybe with practice I could learn to use a camera like this one.
