Blue Dasher, male.

I’ve not been walking at the park lately (try 4 weeks) because it is so damn hot out. But I did manage to get one good shot of a dragonfly last week. I cannot tell you why I’m so pleased with this picture. It took me forever to get it. Not because the bug was moving but because the sun was too bright and kept washing out the blue. I’d take a picture and check it and the guy’s tail would be white. I’d say a few swears and tweak the camera and do it all over again. The eyes are darker than I’d like, but at least I finally got his tail mostly right.
