Blue Dasher Dragonfly

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

I am almost sure he (or she) was enjoying posting for the photos. Turning, tilting head there and back. They flying a bit and back to the same spot looking the other way.
Absolutely stunning blue creature!

Spotted one of those giants, yes - it was pretty big and very fatty, at the small pond in our local park. Went there to catch some frog shots and baby ducklings that hatched. This was an extra bonus from the trip.

I almost forgot that this Tamron likes to surprise me with some nice bokeh ;)
