Dragon and the Fountain

In My Garden

Today several Blue Dasher dragonflies appeared at the pond in my garden.
They kept trying to perch on the spray from the small water fountain, so out came the camera.
Turned out to be quite a challenge because they would "dash" away as soon as they couldn't perch.
This was the best I could do using the 300mm with 1.4x tele-converter.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Awesome shot. Saw one at our old pond last weekend helping Gary work the pond vac. Wonder how many larvae were lost. Love these little guys.

What an amazing capture with wonderful focus on the eyes, which you are always so good at.. The water almost looks like a rabbit dashing away from the Dasher!
