When I was having coffee this morning out in the garden I saw this lovely dragonfly, so I excitedly hurried inside the house to grab my camera. With its’ red head and wings is a violet body – I’m guess it’s from the meadowhawk or sympetrum variety. What’s more delightful was she allowed me to take her photos.
