DRAGONFLY on the ROSEBUD 🌹
Hello my Dearest Friends,
Yes, lucky for me, she decided to sunbathe on the rosebud 🌹
I was returning home from my little walk around the block after taking photos of some critters and flowers. I was actually getting quite tired, because I have a back problem and I need it to go home and stretch. Anyway, I forgot all about that when I saw two dragonflies cruising around our neighbor's lot. Although this happened many times before, they usually never sit down.
Except yesterday, one one of them did!!! As I am not very lucky with dragonflies and I am dreaming for a long time about capturing one, I was praying that she would stay until I come closer. I started taking photos as I was approaching her, just in case she flies away and at one point she did, but she came back. I couldn't believe it. It was a miracle!
I am pretty sure she enjoyed the sun so much, that she couldn't care less about me and my camera. She was holding on to that rosebud which made her even more delicate. She looks like piece of fine jewelry. After I finished the photo shoot, my neighbor came out and while we talked, the dragonfly was still there. I saw her flying a way as was coming to our driveway.

Thank you so much 😊
WOW those shots are amazing and how cool it stayed for you and even flew away and returned thats awesome and I love this post
I am still amazed! I just wish I could take more angles, but the sun did not allowed me. Thank you so much, I am happy you love this one 😊
Even if you could not get al the angles you wanted you still got great shots :)
Well, I am very happy with them, but since she was sitting there so long I felt I didn't take enough advantage, lol. Altough I took lots of shots of her, but I picked only the best ones. You know how it is 😊
Ohh yeah I know how it is but not with dragonflies they torment me lOL
They torment me too, lol.
Well I am glad they didn't today for you :)
That dragonfly looks stunning, beautiful pictures !!

Wow! So glad that the drag decided to return and to make your wishes come true my friend. It looks like one of the Dropwing varieties, but I am not sure, as I only know the drags that we have over here.
Blessings and congratulations!
Honestly, I was so happy about finally capturing one, that I didn't even bother looking up in Goggle for her name, lol. However, since you brought it up, I did and I found out that this is "Prince Baskettail". Quite interesting name, I must say!
Anyway, thank you so much for vising and for your cheerful comment. I really appreciate it 😊
Well congrats again and my first time to see a "Prince Baskettail" as we don't have them here.
Glad that you got one my friend.
Blessings!
Thnak you so much my Friend! I hope I get some other kinds too, lol.
Nice photographs! I like dragonflies but they are hard for me to get a good photo of. Your photos with the rosebush and sunlight look wonderful.

Thank you so much, I am happy you like it...................I am also having trouble to capture them, It took me three years to finally capture one 😊
Wow! Such a perfect moment captured forever! So stunning Lena. My little one came back, but wasn't quite so cooperative especially with my phone. Still neat to see, though. 😜

Oh my goodness! I remember, two years ago, I took photo one White tale and she was very far, like this. And by the time I came closer she was gone. But I really wish that she will come back to you. Thank you so much Katie. Lots of people take great photos of them with mobile. I think with these creatures it's all about luck 😍
Simply fantastic photos. She picked the perfect spot to sit for her photo shoot! Isn't it funny how we can forget our aches and pains when there is a photo waiting?
You are so right Melinda! And you should see me........I drooped my bag and my hat and I was walking slowly towards her. If someone saw me they thought I was crazy for sure, lol. Thank you so much I am happy you like it 😍
Other photographers would have immediately understood your behavior, but you are right, we must appear rather odd to the average passerby!
Oh yes, other photographer would, but regular people on the street already think I am crazy, lol.
Nothing wrong with that... We have earned the right to be as crazy as we want to be!
I cannot agree more, lol.
These photos are really perfect
Thank you so much my Dear Denisse 😍

How awesome it looks like the dragonfly is praying to the rose bud to open up so she can suck all that juicy nectar out of the rose..lol :)
Oh yes! You are right Angelo, lol. Altough they eat only insects. They are hunters and on of their pray are mosquitoes! Thank you so much for visiting and for your lovely comment 😊
They love eating mosquitoes good to know i am going to invite a couple into my house it will be cost free and no pollution having to spray Baygon around the house.
Oh. that's for sure Angelo, lol.
I absolutely love dragonflies, they are so ethereal, the larvae are very voracious and called "Nymphs" and live by water, I think it's such a great metaphor, ow they became graceful flying ethereal creatures to emerge from the pond
You are so right, they are! Altough they eat butterflies and even other dragonflies! But I love the fact they hunt mosquitoes!!! Thank you so much for visiting my Dear 😍
Howdy Miss Lena! oh, you are so right, that is miraculous! What a gorgeous dragonfly and she posed so well for you! This is close to perfection. Or maybe it IS perfection!
Howdy Janton! Again, sorry for the delays, but you know I will catch up!
I am happy you came to see this beauty! She is really a big accomplishment for me this year! Altough I would love to capture more before the summer ends, but if not, I am highly satisfied with this one. Thank you so much, your supprt always means a lot 😊
Howdy Miss Lena! I agree, this was a rare find that worked out so well! But fall is almost there isn't it? And then the cold weather starts!
Don't remind me Janton! We still have two mounts of possibly beautiful weather to go. The whole September is still a chance to capture dragonfly 😊
Well that sounds good, another two months. I'd live outside for that time! lol.
nice Macro shot! That is spot on.
Thank you so much 😊
