Dragonfly in our Garden

This delightful fellow tarried awhile in our garden.
It blends in the hedge and so photographically does not stand out too much.
But I was glad that it obliged long enough for me to fetch the camera and rattle off a few shots.

What camouflage this guy has, hard to see! Great details, Pete! v.

A fine shot of the dragonfly, and the blending in with the background emphasizes the importance of camouflage against predators. V

Yep, very thoughtful of him :o) Lovely shot Pete - even though he blends in, he's still pretty fab to look at...nicely done!
