Red dragonfly


During the hot weather it has been fun sitting on the veranda watching the gold fish, red dragonflies and blue damselflies.

A poem for today
A haiku by Kobayashi Issa.
The distant mountains
Are reflected in the eye
Of the dragonfly.

    1. This was actually taken with my long “bird” lens rather than my macro lens. I was surprised at how well it came out.

  2. Beautiful macro shot, and nice haiku to go with it.

    1. I am rather fond of haiku though this is not the best of them in my mind.

  3. An amazing insect so cleverly captured for us to share its beauty.

    1. I don’t remember seeing these red ones before so it was fun to capture him/her. It was lovely to see those big eyes appear as I focussed the camera.
