The Blue Dragonfly

The Blue Dragonfly

I still see dragonflies every day, either around the fish pond in our garden or when I’m walking my dogs here in Paphos. Most of the ones seen around the pond are red, but there is also a blue one.

Could this be a Blue Dasher Dragonfly? Maybe not; it looks like it’s laughing.

I know, one picture would have been enough. They all look pretty much the same unless you look very closely, and who does but myself?

Chasing dragonflies,
like buying good books or eating gourmet food,
can be curiously addicting.”

    I look at them and when you have such fabulous photos, it’s hard not to keep looking. I am hopeless with names too 🙂

    Blue or red? Equally beautiful I would say! The blue dragonfly’s wings look like they have glitter on them – stunning photos Anita.

    I sommar har jag fått vara helt utan att umgås med dessa förtrollare, så jag njuter storligen av dina vackra bilder på dem. Roligt med en hel skugga under den blå men båda är lika skirsköna.

    No, one photo would not have been enough – these are all gorgeous and make even more impact when posted together 😮 I love all the photos but the last one of the red dragonfly on a dead twig is especially good!

    Nej, det var inte ett enda foto för mycket. Dessa underbara varelser är förtrollande snygga och väldigt fascinerande. Helt fantastiskt underbara makro bilder. Närmare kan man knappast komma. 🤩

    These are great photos, Anita. I like your blue dragonfly photos very much, but the two photos of the red dragonfly our just outstanding. Their wings are very well detailed and both compositions are slightly better, well this is my feeling (don’t shoot please🙈) .

    Här har du helt klart överträffat dig själv… igen. Vilka färger och vilka makron! Sedan är jag väldigt avis på dina vackra färgade trollsländor. De enda som har hälsat på här är små, bruna och ganska fula.
