Chasing dragonflies can be difficult as they’re in constant motion. If you see one on a lily pad chances are you’ll get a few photos, as they break from leading you on a merry chase.

Ah, I wish to have a macro camera to get those photos. I like chasing dragonflies.🤩

You don’t need a macro lens. I took this with a 300 mm. 😊

You must be so patient, Belinda! I like the cute white patch on its face 🙂 and the shadow making it look like it has ‘double’ wings, made me look twice.

And if they take flight they often return to the same spot (stem) you first saw them on.

A great capture, Belinda. 😊 They are so beautiful (and great mosquito irradicators!) but yes, difficult to get a picture unless they land.

Ah so nice. A part of my childhood on the lake iin Michigan. I loved to take the little John boat out with the electric motor and putt around while the damsel flies landed on me and the boat. A summer delight from the early 1970s. ❤️😊
