Wow! That's practically a dragon... what beautiful detail on the wings.

I was thinking that too -- dragon red!

[sasha_feather]

Yeah, the color is so intense! What cool insects they are. :)

Great photo! So not easy to get a photo of dragonflies because they are so darn fast! I don't think we have red ones where I live.

I felt very lucky that it sat still and let me take the photo! Blessed by a dragon fly.

:D

What a delicate creature.

[sasha_feather]

Really amazing. :)

Wow! So much color, and such detail -- you can see the shadows of the veins in its wings on the railing!

[sasha_feather]

Wow, you're right, I hadn't noticed that! Bless cameras these days, they are so easy to use and get such good results.

Neat! I find it's hard to get a good photo of a dragonfly. They never seem to sit still for very long. Do you know what kind this is? I don't think we've got one like it here in Denmark.

The internet tells me that it is most probably an Autumn Meadowhawk, which is an amazing name !
