Practicing My Sneaking Skills - _TNY_8444
Spending Midsummer's Eve (the afternoon of the day called "eve" I mean) with the family at lake Långsjön in the Paradiset nature reserve with a picnic and some lovely swimming, I managed to find the time to pop over to the even smaller lake Svartsjön (literally "black lake") and tried sneaking up on some of the many dragonflies that were perched on branches leaning put over the water.
The one in focus here is a four-spotted chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata) and out of focus in the foreground is a male small whiteface (Leucorrhinia dubia)
The whiteface was actually chill enough to allow me to get a couple of better closeups, like here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52217299897/
Part 2 is with the same framing as this one - but with the focus on the whiteface here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52905460895/
