Dashing Through The Air
During a brief outing to a nearby arboretum, the visit got off to a challenging start but we persevered, made a detour around a blocked entranceway and forged through overgrown trails to arrive at our favorite spot - the shaded sitting area next to the lake.
There were a few dragonflies dashing about here and there, landing for a split second on a small reed or branch, only to take off again to another small reed or branch. Alas, this one decided to moon me right as I grabbed this shot!
My first dragonfly of the year - which appears to be a Blue Dasher.
