Terrified Model, Pt. 2 - _TNY_2773
I've longingly been watching the downy emerald dragonflies (Cordulia aenea) endlessly patrolling over the garden pond without ever stopping for a breather which would enable me to get a photo.
I got lucky a couple of days ago when one of them took a wrong turn and went indoors and ended up inside the bathroom window.
I'm not saying it was easy to get the terrified dragonfly to sit still for a couple of seconds on my finger so I could get a clear photo of thos magnificient eyes - but in the end it finally worked out. Do zoom in on the eye - it really has wonderful detail!
Part one with nice eye contact here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51301545762/
