There is a surge in the population of dragonflies here this year, not that I mind since they eat mosquitoes. I have trouble getting photos of them because they fly so fast, but lucked out on this particular one almost glued to the clematis blossom. I even had time to run into the house and grab my camera then run back out to snap some shots. Maybe I should have used a fill flash for more even light. I did like catching the detail of the wings

Great work, Jane! That’s amazing that you had enough time to run into the house and get your camera. This particular flower must be his territory.

It stayed there a long time- even changed my lens. Very strong contrasts in light so not excellent shots but I enjoyed the experience.

They are so skittish so you got some good shots. I have noticed more of them too and have some coming up shortly.

Yes they are speedy little buggers. And they never sit still for long!
