Can you see me?

After loading this image into Lightroom I noticed a spot in the sky on the right hand side. The sensor on my D300 is pretty good about staying clean, but I must admit to slacking about cleaning my lens. So, I was not too surprised when I saw a large spot on this image. However, it was not on the rest of the images in the series. Upon a closer look I discovered it was a dragon fly caught in flight. This brings up something I’ve been noticing about this summer, there seems to be a lot of dragonflies this year. They are abundant around our lake and when I’m out in the fields. The other afternoon I was outside having an iced tea at a local coffee house when one decided to pay me a visit. It circled around me then landed on the tip of my straw. I started talking to it but it only seemed like a one way conversation. Can you see it? You can click on the image to enlarge it. Anyone else notice an increase in dragon flies this summer?
