When I was in the garden yesterday I saw a Damselfly, it flew past me in what i can only describe as a small wisp of silver and landed on the grass nearby. If only I had had my camera with me. It looked to me to be totally silver colour but having tried to find it in my books I haven't come up with a name. It was just so delicate.
I finished my pond on my allotment 8 days ago and added three starter plants on the Friday and on Sunday had 2 bright blue dragonflies buzzing about with another smaller one attacking them both.
What is the saying........Build it and they will come !
Someone said during this current situation that I was very " LUCKY " to have an allotment.
No....I deserve the plot as i have bashed it about and cared for my bit of The Earth for 8 years now.
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.
The dragonfly from the start of this thread is still sat on the same leaf, hasn't moved for 18 hours now. It's very windy, perhaps that's why it's not venturing out. It's also a bit in a shaded spot, so it's not getting much sun light. On the other hand it's sheltered from the wind. I hope it has a good reserve of energy from its nymph stage. This afternoon I may try to coax it if it hasn't moved, although I'll research first whether that's a terrifically bad idea. Oh the worries!

You can deserve something and still be lucky to have it. That's how I feel about most of the things I have.
Fabulous! We have a large pond and have had four massive emperor dragonflies emerge this year. One was tootling around ovipositing today: they are HUGE, like a mini helicopter.
Age doesn't make you forgetful. Having way too many stupid things to remember makes you forgetful.
