It’s a summer with more bugs and insects than birds. Happily, dragonflies are attractive subjects that I like to take. This one looks like he’s King of the Meadow.
I used to be terrified of these things and have now learned to look at them in a different way, like some fascinating alien creature with amazing features. Great photo. He looks like he just landed or is about to lift off; a giant aircraft of the insect world.

Awesome capture, Belinda! I have been trying the challenge of dragonflies recently, and oh my, they aren’t easy! I think they like to tease. 😉

Thanks Donna! They often return to the same spot. I often get them on the second go.

Thanks Anneli. lot of people dislike/fear them. There is an otherworldly look to them, as well as beauty, I think.

I’ve learned to look for the beauty and much of it is due to your photos.

Nice Shot and observations. We also notice this time of year is ruled by dragonflies and the birds are lying low.
