Dragonfly 4: black and blueby ~pralinkova-princezna

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Invertebrates

Perhaps my best one, and the one I had the most fun with. It is a Black-tailed Skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum).
Please full view!

The joys of photographing a dragonfly

me: Oh, another big one! *walks closer with the camera* But on the black stones she is not well visible...
dragonfly: frrrrrrrr... *flies away*
me: ...
dragonfly: *sits on a light ground on the left of me*
me: *approaches slowly, taking photos*
dragonfly: frrrrrr....
me: Aww, come back!
dragonfly: *sits on the dark stones*
me: *goes to the dragonfly to make it fly away and sit on something more suitable*
dragonfly: *flies and sits on the left*
me: Good... but did you have to sit near the garbage? Ah, nevermind.. and did you have to sit in the shadow of the grass? But I could get a step closer, I am taming her!
dragonfly: frrrrrrrr...
me: You don't want to be a film star?
dragonfly: *sits on the dark stones*
me: *goes to chase her away*
dragonfly: *sits on the left*
me: That is what I call collaboration! *takes a hundred photos*
dragonfly: frrrrrrrrrr...
me: Thanks!
