Dragonfly on vine.

brilliant photo

Well caught such detail.

Irish and Drc thanks, wasnt sure about the setting to use, a bit hit and miss, so used them all lol and kept the best one.........!!

I was doing the same in my garden this afternoon, DD2 but haven't checked to see what the photos are like yet! Lovely clear shot, they are so obliging aren't they?

Gee, they certainly are, I must have taken over ten pics, they are so beautiful arnt they?

OOH..you lucky thing! I don't see many up here any more - there were lots when I was a youngster but now they are rare.. I DID see one in a garden centre a week or so ago - but needless to say - by the time I had fished my camera out of my handbag - it had flown away - and too far for me to follow!!!!

Lovely DD - do you have a pond as this the female and may be looking to deposit her eggs .

BB sadly not any longer, after the last fish departed we took out the pond......
Alz this is the second one this year, the other was a different colour.

You are lucky DD to have seen two no less.! When I was a kid we had a big pond in the garden and I used to lie at the side watching them...often several at a time in among the reeds and iris...thought nothing of it of course...little knowing that 60+ years later it would be a rare sight. What have we done to our planet...:<<((

It does make you wonder..........
