During a recent walk with my dogs here in Koili, I came across the first dragonfly I have photographed this year.
It proved to be a cooperative subject, remaining on a dried flower stem long enough for me to capture these images.

While photographing the dragonfly, I noticed this striking spider in a nearby web.
Its colours seemed to echo those of the dragonfly, making it a fitting way to end this post.
