Smashing macro of this beautifully patterned Southern Hawker, a dragonfly of considerable presence, Andrea. With your vast garden to attract them, you have a monopoly on most insects in the UK.
Truly amazing shot! Wow!
My goodness this is a superb image. If you don't look closely you can easily think it is in flight.
beautiful capture !
Fantastic capture and it's certainly the green scene.
Beautiful colours on this one.
This is a gorgeous photo Andrea - I have not seen such vibrant colors over here and never green. Exquisite capture!
Superb green on green
