Thank you dearly Marthe! I thought if I responded to a Comment in my In Box that it would appear here? Odd that it doesn't. So here is my "Thank you" again!

I've seen these guys do this, but I've never been able to get a shot of one. What a capture!

I was in the pool on a hot day, a little bit bored and a wasp landed on the water and got a drink. I thought it was so cool to see that. I got out to get my camera and waited for him to come back. I had to wait quite a while but he did. His reflection was a bonus which I didn't fully realize until post processing.Editing

Patience and don't think anything is too insignificant to photograph.
