We have lots of dragonflies in our backyard(but unfortunately many mosquitoes too)…and wasps(but that is another story!).
A very co-operative dragonfly let me take its photo a few days ago. Zoom out first and then zoom in:
I may have a zoom in zoom out with a blue dragonfly for next week!
Linking to Helena’s ZIZO and NF Winged.

beautiful detail in the wings – I do love to watch the butterflies in my garden but rarely see a dragonfly

Haven’t seen any dragonflies around here at all. How nice of that one to be so accommodating for you! Fantastic close-up shot!

Your dragon fly is so beautiful and very co-operative, mind you, so would I be if I was that gorgeous!

Great ZIZO! (I can never find a dragonfly that’s willing to sit and pose for me!)

Lovely ZIZO – I remember how excited I was when we found a dragonfly in our [v.small] garden! Obviously I grabbed the camera! I don’t think I’ve seen one since – it must be lovely to see them often.
