...but other parts of body are in perfect condition :-) Quick return to hot summer and damselflies. Darter resting on dry reed between hunts.

As many our member wrote - I also hate this long winter with short and dull days. Today was first really nice day in last three weeks. Temperature was about +10C degrees and I even saw some kind of living flies. I hope winter won't return killing our dreams of spring...

Hi Greg,
o yes, I can see it - it's realy missing - but this guy seems to be happy even without it.
They are always smiling as it seems ;-)
It's a beautiful shot, I like the brilliant colours and the pose, thanks

Hi Greg. This is a fine close up of the Dragonfly. I like the pose on the grass. I see the poor thing has lost part of its leg but other wise looks fine. You have taken it with good detail and bright colours. well done TFS.
Nick..

Very good photograph(in perfect condition), Greg.
Excellent depth of field and point of view...
Nicely composed.

Hello Greg,
A fine capture of a male S. striolatum taken from a great lateral POV with excellent sharpness and DOF to show the body well against the neutral natural BG.
A great portait of the species and thanks for this nice reminder of light and warmth:))!
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hello Greg !
Same story in France - grey, rainy, dull. Winter seems to go on forever - I'm waiting either for really cold to return (so we would get some more snow) or for spring to come, but I really hope the actual weather won't last. As for your picture, it is a fantastic one from you archives of last summer. Amazing details on poor dragonfly with missing leg, vivid colors, splendid composition and POV, and a wonderful blurred BG. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hey,great shot Greg!

Hello Grzegorz

the colors and the blurred BG are superb
Have a nice sunday

Hi Greg,
A nice capture of this beautiful red dragonfly. Pity a leg is not present. But usually it is not a problem for dragonflies until its mouth parts and wings are OK. ;> Thanks a lot for sharing this lovely image.

Hello Greg,
We actually saw a glimpse of blue sky today and a little bit of sunshine! Wooow! But now it's gone!! Great to see your lovely capture of a dragonfly from last summer! I love its pose and the bright colours against the olivegreen background. Great sharpness too and well framed.
Many thanks, Ulla
