My dearest has been swimming laps during my pool bug photographing time. I am not complaining, I miss him dearly when he is away, Today, he very sweetly dipped this dragonfly from the pool before he began and put it in the jacuzzi so that I could take a photo. He's a keeper.
We normally see red dragonflies around the pool. Yesterday, I saw a blue one and was very excited, then it and a red one had a major battle and it flew away. I sure hope it floating in the pool wasn't the end result!
I find the pattern of colours in the body quite amazing - and the one block of colour in each wing. What fascinating little creatures they are - and so stylish. Lovely capture.
