I spent ages trying to get a photo of a dragonfly earlier today – there were loads of them but none of them would behave and sit still for long enough! Great photo 🙂
🙂 so do I. I hope he visits again soon – we’ve made a ‘bird bath’ now (ie upturned bucket with a dish of water on top) so hopefully that will encourage them

oh I’m sorry – I think he’s quite stunning which is why I wanted to share it

What a gorgeous photograph! They never sit still long enough for me! 🙂

this one was a bit confused I think – there’s no water in the immediate vicinity – but posed quite happily 😉

Wonderful shot – you must have been quick off the mark! Love the colour contrast too.

Is it real? LOL!
Seriously amazing photograph!
27/05/2012 at 8:59 pm
completely real, completely taken by me, just in our garden, with only my camera and no zippy lens. All I’ve done is crop it, no other tweaks xx

I’m still of the view that this one was a bit confused! Hope the next ones sit still for you x

Oh my, the definition there just blows me away, it is like looking under a microscope!

Beautiful Damsel Dfly picture. Love the lacey wings and the colour of his body.

Absolutely amazing colours. What a shot! I’m a little bit scared of anything creepy crawly but you’ve made it look quite beautiful.
28/05/2012 at 12:39 pm
he wasn’t scary at all – just beautiful 🙂 x
