Tremendous series Brian, with very apt comments.

I think that proves it once and for all. You have tamed the dragonflies in your garden and they will do your bidding.

I'm with Alistair on this. I cannot pick a favourite. To do so would be an injustice to the others.

#3 is my favorite- I like how the wings seem to wrap around the outside of the picture.

Thanks again for looking and commenting
eccles - you are right they are great to photograph when you can get up close and watch them.

Alby - sort of did one last year when I had a chat with one of these - they carted me off shortly after
