Emperor Dragonfly... female...
Not the normal location or uncluttered shot of this dragonfly, but, we find found this dragonfly hawking,in dense coppiced woodland.Kathy and I had just decided to go for a walk, not intent on taking any shots, but always carrying a camera,just in case.
We entered a shady glade, and found her hawking in and out of the dappled light, following a almost repetitive pattern...and we decided to sit down,on a felled tree, have a cup of coffee and just enjoy watching her.
She landed, in a not too inaccessible place,and,lit by a shaft of sunlight so,I thought I would try and get a snap...usually this action gets dragonflies up and away..especially as I had my macro lens on, and I needed to get pretty close.
But...she let me get close enough to take a couple of shots before she resumed her hawking.
It's these little unexpected vignettes of nature that makes our hobby so fascinating.....and...keeps us at it...!!!!
