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.
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!!!
