STOPS ALONG THE WAY

DRAGONFLY SEASON (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

28 Comments

I liked the way the first dragonfly peered out between the leaves and stayed still as I set up my shot. In the photo below, the dragonfly had just recently emerged, one of the first of the season. Every few days it seems new varieties appear, particularly welcome this spring as birding subjects have proved less reliable.

    Exquisite photos, Belinda. Dragonflies do not sit still very long, I am impressed with your ability to capture them both with such clarity.

    Wonderful shots, Belinda! 🙂 Back in the Permian Period they had 3-foot wingspans.
