Southern Hawker Dragonfly

Southern Hawker Dragonfly
DSC 0335 - Copy

After years of trying, today I finally got a half decent picture of a dragonfly! I was looking around the garden and saw this one feeding on the Spirea, ran indoors to get my camera, thinking it would probably be gone by that time, but no, it was still there and these two pictures are the result! If my identification is wrong, please let me know.

Very obliging of the dragonfly to wait for you, Rosa. These really are beautifully taken images.

Thank you so much for your generous comment Jose Manuel. Oh dear, that is bad luck when something you want to photograph beaks the camera! Sometimes we are so keen to get the shot that we miss our footing....I have done that before :-)
