A few dragons to kick off with
A female Emperor Dragonfly
Southern Hawker. A male, I think
A Black-tailed Skimmer; female
Brown Hawker. I think a male..
And on one of the reeds, I noticed all these Damselfly larval skins, or exuvia.
A couple of flowers……
Not sure what this is. It’s from the roadside verge I posted about, a while ago.(Thanks Rob.....he tells me it is Red Flax)
I know this one…….Poppy.
Field Scabious

Hi Keith,
Think the flower may be Red Flax (Linum Grandiflorum)All the Best, Rob.
Thanks for the ID Rob. I think you could be right. I had a look on google. Cheers.

Thank you Matt, appreciate your comments.
Oooooh! That up close and personal portrait of the dragonfly is fantastic! I also really REALLY like the one with the flower and butterfly in the lower left and nothing else in the frame...very nice!
Thank you for you comment on the post about Moonbeam...made my day! :)
Still praying for your health to improve and remain well!
Scenes of the Nature are really grand.
It seems to spread through my very front immediately.
Thank you for showing beautiful landscapes.
Your photography is very splendid...

ruma, thank you for stopping by, following, and leaving a comment. Appreciate it.
Had a quick look at your blog; love the video of the rice fields. So relaxing.
The dragonfly shot are great! What is your secret to photographing them. I see them fly around but never in just one spot long enough to shoot. I see you even captured one in flight! The flowers shots are very nice also. I really like the red one (red flax).
Thanks for your comment David. The dragons are a matter of patience, and a lot of luck lol
Oh, the dragonflys are superb. And I have never seen bevore red flachs (I know the blue one). It´s always a great nature cinema to see your pics! Greetings from Luzia.
Luzia, thank you for your comments. Always appreciated.
Your photos of birds are very beautiful as always but I'm fascinated with your fabulous macros! Especially the dragonflies are magnificient shots! Have a great weekend! Best regards from St. Petersburg/Russia!
