13 TITANIUM

Taken at Risley Moss Nature Park, Warrington, UK

A close-up from a dragonfly. I was lucky that it didn't fly away.

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.

beautiful yellow and black dragonfly resting in the sun.

Last year summer I was able to get very close to this dragonfly.

Always impressed by their beauty!

Happy weekend everyone!!!

(Sympetrum sp.)

First one of 2017 flying for me

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.

Libel (viervlek)

Taken at Hodnet gardens, Shropshire.

J'offre cette libellule à Liliane que j'admire pour ses magnifiques photos de libellules; moi, c'est la 1ère fois que je réussis à en prendre une.

und wieder hat sich eine Libelle ins Bild gezwängt .... bei einer Gassirunde :)
