Southern Hawker Dragonfly

DSC 0335 - Copy

After years of trying, today I finally got a half decent picture of a dragonfly! I was looking around the garden and saw this one feeding on the Spirea, ran indoors to get my camera, thinking it would probably be gone by that time, but no, it was still there and these two pictures are the result! If my identification is wrong, please let me know.

Wow liebe Rosa,das hast du aber ganz toll umgesetzt,ich seh,das du nur ein 55er Objektiv hattest,das sind traumhafte,schöne Aufnahmen und die Libellen sind perfekt scharf,ich denke mir,dass du auch gleich eine große Freude hattest und dass sie dir so schön Model gestanden ist :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you so much dear Günter. Yes I was lucky that the dragonfly stayed so long! I've not run so fast for a long time, to get my camera ;-))

Have a great new week and a good evening, Rosa.

Amazing images Rosa!! Well done!!! Lovely clear colours, super sharp detail and spot on focus. It could not have chosen a more colourful flower either. Beautiful, and the bokeh is also lovely.

A great start to the week. Hope the rest of it is just as good

A very impressive macro shot of the dragonfly, Rosa. The green of the insect stands out well from the pink flower. I hope you have a great new week. Cheers, Joe
