Great photos! It can be hard to capture our flying creatures at times. The wings look amazing in the photos and great texture.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelli.
DeleteAren't they amazing? I do not think I have ever seen so many dragonflies as I have this year ~ there are hundreds in my small garden alone, and when I go out into the countryside the air is full of them too ~ great news, I think and they are excellent subjects.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess these were not in the garden Deborah - we tend to get the smaller damselflies around our pond.
DeleteLovely photo Sue, he looks quite a size!
ReplyDeleteThey are two different ones, Jo. I think the first is a male and the other shots are a female. They were fairly large
DeleteI'm never fast enough to get photos of dragonflies or damselflies, they're always too quick for me. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't bad, Jo as they were at rest. I was lucky with the first though as I had the wrong setting on my camera - it was set for through glass as I had just taken some otter photos.
DeleteFantastic photos, well done you for capturing them.
ReplyDeleteThey were very accommodating , CJ
DeleteThe dragonflies look so interesting! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteThey are but their larva eare voracious predators in a pond, Endah.
DeleteGreat shots. There have been some whoppers around this year.
ReplyDeleteThere are, Jessica - we once had one stuck under the netting covering our plot cherry tree and it made so much noise flapping that I thought it was a bird.
DeleteI always love dragonflies. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daphne
DeleteWow ! Wonderful photos ! I love dragonflies but they are too fast and difficult to photograph !
ReplyDeleteGreetings :)
These helpfully sat still for a short time, Ela
DeleteWhat astonishing pictures! I did enjoy the detail. I saw a large blue one in my veggie patch recently, I must try and identify it.xxx
ReplyDeleteThey are tricky to identify especially the females - I'm guessing these are common darters,
DeleteThey are quite a dull colour for dragonflies the ones round our pond are usually a beautiful blue/green, butgreat that you managed to get a shot, they don't hang around for long.
ReplyDeleteWe get the smaller more slender really blue damselflies Elaine but only rarely get the really big dragons. We tend to see these more on the plot
DeleteBrill photos sue. We've had lots of migrant hawkers around here, huge things whizzing past you. had them near where I work and on the plot. Apparently this species hunt quite a long way from where they breed. And plenty of insects for them to feed on over the plots. The more mozzies they eat, the better!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Sue, I don't have a pond but normally see a few in the garden each year. This year has been the exception but maybe it is because of the dry weather that they have not made an appearance.
ReplyDeleteSuperb shots Sue - I've noticed a couple of these in my garden this year but never when I have the camera too hand.
ReplyDeleteThey are very attractive, good shots!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Sue :o)
