Description
Hello dear friends,
I was following this creature in the hope of being able to photograph it, and fortunately it finally took a rest on a Hydrangea, which has now changed color very nicely in the fall.
it's a male of this species of dragonfly:
Aeshna affinis, the southern migrant hawker or blue-eyed hawker, is a dragonfly found in southern Europe and Asia. It is in the family Aeshnidae and is very similar in appearance to A. mixta.
It's name in Dutch:
Een mannelijke zuidelijke glazenmaker (Aeshna cyanea)
Thank you very much for your lovely comments on my previous upload, it's very much appreciated.

Great shot. Often have dragonflies in the garden (have a small pond) but no Hydrangea.
Thank you very much, I would love to have a pond. lol, more then Hydrangea's. ;-)
Oh, that is a beauty! I've loved dragonflies since I was a kid, and anytime I see one it makes me smile - Nature's little helicopters. What a gorgeous capture - it's like he knew you were going to take a photo, and landed on the Hydrangea on purpose! LOL
Thank you, Rod, he may well have waited for me after challenging me so much. Yes, I'm also a great admirer of Dragonflies, they have so many beautiful details. I also think they are very strong, because every now and then they fly into our window and then you really hear a kind of 'thump', but they just fly on. :)
Very beauiful. Wow . I bet it was great following him! I love those type of times.
Thank you so much sweetheart, hope you're doing fine! ♥
Very beautiful!!! Great capture!
Thank you, rbowen!
