 Hairy Hawker (48) horia
(12933) | Alright...i think i can safely say i'm back :)
I finished writing my final masters thesis and i'm pretty much done with all the studying for now (well that's until September actually...when i'll start my PhD).
Anyway, this hopefully means more time for TN and more time with my friends here. I know i've missed a HUGE amount of great photos from you and i intend to at least look at them and also maybe even write some comments about some older photos of yours. Even more, i want to start returning my critiques as i once used to and get back to an active participation on the forum, too.
That being said, i present you a photo i took on one of the field trips from this spring.
It's a Hairy Hawker - Brachytron pratense i found one morning, in the northern part of Romania. She (it's a female) wasn't warm enough to fly and i was able to get quite close to her and take some good shots.
Just for fun, you can check out why they call them "Hairy" in this workshop :)
Hope you'll like it :)
You can check out some more new dragonfly/damselfly photos i took on my website.
