A beauty, with the flash of wings hovering over the crusty bark. V

Some emeralds are early fliers too here. Looks a lot like ours. Great shot and detail. V

Wow, super color and detail, and a great capture of this beautiful dragonfly. V.

Very similar to our emeralds, but I guess the climate you have over there is kind of similar to ours as well. The four spotted chaser is one we have in common too.
Nice perch on the treebark.

Wow! This is such a pretty dragonfly and one I have not seen. I finally saw an ode today but jot close enough to identify. Will be glad when the hotter temps come.
