Manually Focused Dragonfly, In Flight

Description
A spot-winged glider dragonfly (Pantala hymenaea) makes a quick dash to join dozens of others gathering by Richardson Bay near Mill Valley, California on a balmy summer day in 2017.
My camera's auto-focus was not fast enough for these speedy insects, so I had to manually focus and quickly snap the photo during their brief moment of hovering.
From this vantage point, we can see the insect's legs folded close to its body, aiding in its aerodynamics. The result of intelligent design.
"O Lord, how many and varied are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all;
The earth is full of Your riches and Your creatures."
~ Psalm 104:24

Artwork notes:
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
