Dragonfly (Common Darter)
A summer garden delight.
Our garden, July 2024.
Corringham, Essex UK
*********************************************
With thanks to Bill Robinson for confirming this is a female Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum). Ordinarily it would be around still water such as a garden pond. We don't have one but I'll assume somebody nearby does, and there's creeks and natural ponds in the wider vicinity.

Canon EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens. Single shot. Mostly SOOC, just lifted brightness a tad. 10:8 crop.
