I’ve had a number of failed attempts to take pictures of dragonflies, including one where I nearly fell in a stream. Today I was finally lucky!
Yesterday was a gym and run day and the DOMS were not too lovely. After a much needed lie in, I popped to the next village for a coffee and a little walk to ease them out. There’s a nice route that follows a river with a couple of little waterfalls. Wandering along, enjoying the sunshine, I was extra pleased to spot some dragonflies…
Taking care not to have any near-miss falls into the river, I crept through some brambles to get close to some of them. It took some patience and a few wobbles (crouching while your quads are sore isn’t the easiest move!) but finally I managed to frame this little guy.
I walked back to the village with a big smile and celebrated with a coffee.
This has been one of my favourite challenges. Thank you CBDB !
