Had the first dragonfly in the garden today, at least the first that I saw and photographed. An eight spotted female. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
Aren't those wings simply perfection? Our weather has been so bad this summer that I haven't see a single dragonfly so far in the garden.
Within half an hour this one was on the same stick in the garden. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
I'm really missing seeing dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies this year. We've had constant rain since April and there just don't seem to be many about. I'm so glad I get to see your photographs to cheer me up and realise that summer IS actually around somewhere.
