Dragonfly

In the spirit of this Saturday's macro day, I thought I'd post the one and only instance that a dragonfly decided to co-operate with me so I could get it's picture It's an oldie but I'm rather proud of it! I also can't remember if I've posted this one before but no harm in having another look

So, here he is

Cheers,

Perhaps its the trans-Nullabor communications but I could not get through to this site. (I waited 2 minutes then gave up) Would have liked to see it though.

I honestly don't know, I just felt kind of bad calling the dragonfly "it"
