Still going strong
On sunny days, the dragonflies are still out hunting. I'm not sure of the species of these, I think they are either a common darter (Sympetrum striolatum) or a vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum).
This one is warming up:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/500s
This one is on the look-out for prey, and it has a food competitor in the background. Very different hunting methods, though:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO125, f5.6, 1/500s
I wonder how far into autumn I will be seeing these.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! So many dragonflies here that I am tired of taking their photos. I am glad the season is coming to an end but can't wait till next year.
I love all your dragon fly photos! These are beauties! resteemed and tip!
Thanks!
I love the detail! Dragonflies are beautiful. Thanks for the great post!
Such beautiful crystal clear clarity in the fine wings and tails of these dragonflies @ocrdu. 🦋
I didn't see any dragonflies in my short stay in The Netherlands. I guess I will have to go back! :)
I could point them out for you; some travel required 8-).
That would be fabulous! I will let you know the next time I will be there. I am all about traipsing around the countryside, especially with someone who knows where they are going. :)
Very nice captured, as always ;)
