Dragonfly’s eyes have about 30,000 lenses and have a full 360-degree field of vision, but they don’t see details very well. A human eye only has one lens and sees better than a dragonfly, but only to the front and side.
I was visiting the botanical garden of Kyoto when I spotted a few dragonfly. Thankfully, they stayed still and quiet long enough for me to take a nice photo.
Thank you all so much for your visits, faves and comments. Happy Wing Wednesday!

These must be my favourite dragonflies; they have striking colours and always seem happy to go about their business regardless of your presence. What's more, I associate them with some of my favourite places. This one had just caught a bumble bee on the slopes of Ben Hiant, Ardnamurchan, and perched obligingly on a dead sprig of Bog Myrtle to enjoy its meal whilst I snapped away.
Last year summer I was able to get very close to this dragonfly.
Always impressed by their beauty!
Happy weekend everyone!!!
Rescued dragonfly, who got into a pool, sitting on a fingertip to get dry. And after a while it could fly again ;-))
A picture sometimes conerys a feeling.,, and this for us was one of those., it has that 'summer' feeling that we will long for once the long months of winter arrive and everything is looking so grey and dead.
