Dragonfly in our pond

[dancook]

So I dug a pond and it's getting pretty busy with wildlife... when I have a bit more time I think I'm going to try and get this guy in flight.. (I mean sharp with a reasonable composition in flight... not any of my current failed attempts)

Just as I opened this thread, one of those came flying around my pond, doing a complete circle of my chair. My first thoughts where...how can I get a flight shot, as the have a very erratic fligh pattern and when they do land, they don't stay still for long. I'll look out for your shots.

Super composition and colours. That is very attractive indeed.

Keep a watch on your pond in two years time, when adults should emerge early in the morning from mud June..

I told my wife she was mother of dragons for her pond
