Before the rain
It was pouring with rain just now here in The Netherlands, a good time to post this sunny photo I made a few days earlier:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/400s
For those who like to know such things: it's a ruddy darter (Sympetrum sanguineum), bloedrode heidelibel in Dutch, sitting on marsh woundwort (Stachys palustris), moerasandoorn in Dutch.
Thanks for watching!
Your posts always amaze me
Every time I see your post, I always feel happy and happy.
How can you be as good as this.
I really feel jealous.
Thank you for posting

Very nice shot. Just a humble suggestion: if you use Photoshop you could add a smart sharpen filter to make it even "crisper". I do this on all my photos I post on the web. It just gives the photo a razor sharp look. Be careful not overdoing it, I usually use a 0.4 px radius at 100-170% for photos I post on Steemit.
beautiful! never seen a red one like that before, here in Norway ive only seen yellow, green, brown and blue.
stunning photo, isn't that we usually call dragonfly?
It is.
This is awesome. : )
Does the Netherlands have a mosquito problem, and do Dragonflies help ?
The mosquitos here don't carry diseases (yet), as far as I know, so no problem beyond their being annoying.
The dragonflies and damselflies do eat them, but their appetite isn't big enough 8-(.
Having so much water I thought you might have an abundance of the pests, Which would force the government to do spraying.
My eyes are getting mesmerized dear @ocrdu, so i just got stopped by this pic, i can say its awesome photography and u said its raining then the whole scenario would be fantastic and enjoyable in netherland. thank u and have a great day.
