Here there be dragons

I was sitting on the front steps this morning, waiting for a mouse to scamper by so I could get a picture, but those little buggers are fast.

Instead my patience was rewarded by a passing dragonfly.
He settled on faded iris stalk and posed with a saucy air.

"I'm ready for my close-up!"
Quite a different fellow from the blue beauty I captured three years ago (if you haven't seen that one, do take a look). As with the others, you can click on the photos to see them larger.

  2. Thanks! It helped that he/she held pretty still for a long time so I could take a lot of pictures from different angles. Take enough pictures, you're bound to get a couple good ones.
