My first dragonfly photo in 2020. May was still very cool this year in northern Germany. Now the temperatures are finally rising and I hope for more, nice photos.

I've never managed to photograph a dragonfly here, or anywhere for that matter ! I have seen plenty but never managed it. This is a lake in Plantsbrook Local Nature Reserve, where the lilies grow and the herons concentrate and the gulls scream and then gather on a pontoon. Moorhens, coots, ducks, geese - no albatrosses unfortunately 😄. Such a blessing to live so close to this beautiful place. It can get very muddy, so it's usually devoid of people - ideal for wildlife. There are many areas of open water, wetland, woodland and meadow. Lots of dragonflies too, if you can catch them on camera !

Thanks for your kind comments my friends. Please, no multiple invites. Thanks.

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

Always impressed by their beauty!

Happy weekend everyone!!!

I would love to know an identification for this beauty. I found it early this morning in a longleaf pine flatwoods, Alachua County Florida, still covered with dew.
