I dont have much of a story to tell about this lovely little fello. I was deadheading the Dietes in the garden beds around the lake when he showed up out of the blue (if you pardon the pun). Im not used to seeing dragonflies keeping their wings back against their body when they arent flying, although I typically encounter the larger species of dragonflies. This little guy wouldnt have been much longer then about 3cm. I also find that this type of dragonfly tends to be alot more timid then the bigger ones too, they will take off in a heartbeat if they think youre getting too close. He hung around long enough for me to take a photo and when I put my phone away, he had disappeared. Certainly brightened my day up and has helped to shake this bad mood Ive been in for the past few days. Such a lovely little chappie.
