Dragonflies
Quite often we see dragonflies swooping around the garden, moving so fast that it's hard to take a photo of them (at least with my camera). The picture above I took at a wildlife reserve after an infuriating hour trying to get a picture of them. Frustrated, we headed back to the car only to find this specimen (I have no idea what kind it is) sunning itself on a rail.
Last week while I was gardening I was buzzed by another and happened to see where it landed.
The dragonfly landed on the apple tree and as I approached I realised just how well camouflaged it was. I've probably walked past dozens without realising.
