Dragon’s Delight

Red Dragon perched on a grass stalk by the dark water.

Not warm enough for flight, much, but it soon absorbed some from my finger.

And took flight, but for a short time before landing again.

It’s a difficult existence for most anything, and everything changes.

Late in the season for this little dragonfly, it’s almost winter in sub tropical Queensland.

But the season is late and it was a protected spot, a small dam ringed by treed hills.

A nice quiet place where animated nature may present, in unique form.

What a little delight it is. Love the pic showing size against your finger. And the one of it’s face showing all the details.

Fantastic pictures and these eyes! Unbelievable! It looks so small compared to your finger. I never saw such a small dragonfly.

  The wrap-around eyes are great for hunting, which they are masters at. Amazing little creatures.
  
  Thanks Almuth.
