Dragonfly

There were loads of dragonflies about today and they were so huge, they were almost like birds! I was lucky because this fellow sat on the path for a second. I tried to get some shots of them flying but although I have done so before, it seemed impossible today!

He looks like a helicopter about to take off -- great capture!

Great close up. I have tried so hard to catch these wonderful insects and failed miserably. I'm in awe of all who've managed

@hermann Thank you. Sometimes it's difficult to keep your eyes open when there are birds in the trees, insects and mammals on the ground. You don't know which way to look - up or down LOL
