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.
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.

I know it's not perfectly in focus but I so seldom manage to photograph any dragonflies at all so I like this anyway.
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 ;-))

The blue dasher is a dragonfly of the skimmer family. It is the only species in the genus Pachydiplax. It is very common and widely distributed through North America and into the Bahamas. Although the species name longipennis means "long wings", their wings are not substantially longer than those of related species.
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
