The Queen

I exclaimed "the Queen" in my mind when seeing this giant dragonfly elegantly laying eggs from the surface of the water like posing a dance. Later on I did some research to find out the name of this dragonfly species is "Emperor Dragonfly" or "Blue Emperor" - I think they deserve these names!

If you are curious about why I made this post:

I made this post to deliver my homework commitment to www.flickr.com/photos/vincent__buuron/, who ordered me a task to take "something involving a natural mirror, like an insect flying above the water, and it's reflection", in reference to his post www.flickr.com/photos/vincent__buuron/51323363398/in/date....

I have to say that I finally completed this task today but the photographs were not as exciting/beautiful as the old photos I took some years back. (I realized that this year I have missed the best month to take photographs of dragonflies and damselflies to lay eggs from the surface of the water) Therefore I am posting this image from 2018 instead ;-)
