Dragonfly Red

I usually only find blue dragonflies
in the garden but was delighted to
see this colourful insect yesterday.
Unfortunately, it continually came to rest
on a plant that died in the recent heatwave.

Nikon D600
1/500s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thanks so much Michael and Pete.
I love the support and inspiration garnered from being part of this talented and accomplished group.
You all provide me with inspiration and aspirations.
Thank you so much.

The intricacy of the Architect's design and the sharpness of this macro are things to be celebrated. This is a very enjoyable image to see. Looking forward to the appearance of those critters around here again.

Superb detail in the wings and good bokeh.
The plant it is resting on hardly detracts at all

Wee sleekit timorous Beastie, as Robbie Burns would say.
A wonderful image Elaine.

Nice detail, Elaine, and great timing. These critters aren't easy to capture.

Very co-operative wee beastie yesterday but thank you so much, Cindy.

Excellent capture of a hard to photograph creature!
