This gorgeous dragonfly came along my way on an evening stroll. I had never seen it before. It settled on the hedge nearby displaying itself. I perceived that it must have got wind of the dragonfly photographer in town and I guess that it didn't want to be left out . And so I decided to give it a shot. It remained calm the all the while, hardly fidgeting before finally lifting. I was impressed.
