What fascinating creatures, and what a field of knowledge there is out there where I was aware only of 'a few goggos'. Thanks for the reminder to stop and stare. I am in particular need of that these days...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-24587616791627856442010-02-24T21:18:14.581+02:002010-02-24T21:18:14.581+02:00Diana, they are so beautiful!

That small scarlet dragonfly takes my breath away, and the damselfly has to be viewed enlarged (highly recommended) to get a feel for that exquisite pale turquoise detail.

And yes his pond does have a lot of flights. He sometimes feels called on for air traffic control. But when the Blue Emperor (dragonfly) takes off, all other flights are grounded, or they get eaten.Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-63503416917710382282010-02-23T21:24:06.955+02:002010-02-23T21:24:06.955+02:00We have a few red damselflies each year in the pon...We have a few red damselflies each year in the pond but so far I've never been able to photograph them - you must have alot of patience waiting to take these photos - or else you've got alot of dragonflies to choose from.Rosie (Leaves n Bloom)http://www.leavesnbloom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234209863121615779.post-32033335632732167852010-02-23T20:39:44.291+02:002010-02-23T20:39:44.291+02:00I love to photograph dragonflies too.
