July 22: Dragonfly on sunflower stalk

On my balcony this evening.



You can see the details of its leg barbs and its wings being bent back by the wind here.

Thank you! I couldn't believe this guy stayed still long enough for me to change lenses and shoot a couple of dozen pictures!

The detail in their wings is amazing. One of the truly stunning parts of nature.

Thank you! I wait long times for the opportunity to get a shot like that. :) Dragonflies are rarely so cooperative.
