I was really lucky this morning to spot this Dragonfly, newly emerged from its nymph stage, and sitting on a water reed drying off in the early sun. You can see the old nymph skin lower on the first photo.

Miraculous!
Fabulous shots Sue, definitely the right place and time. My camera has been idle lately, I really do have to summon up some energy to go and play again…
