Those are terrific pix diggindoris. Aren't dragonflies stunning? I remember walking one of the hills up at Loch Etive in late summer and as we walked over the marshy low lying area clouds of dragonflies took off in front of us. Wasn't quick enough to get pix though - too busy enjoying the sight
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
OH and I took the same photo in Oxford, mine is a bit dull, his is brighter, but his was too big and wouldn't upload. So he reduced it as I couldn't manage it, but it's tiny now. He wouldn't stop to explain how he reduced - he's rushed off to mow the lawn. Think it's the first time he's managed to do it anyway! I've asked on previous threads how to reduce photos, but the few answers I had didn't work. Does anyone know?

thank you Fairygirl and Forester2 for the compliments. I always have my camera handy to catch a good shot if I can. Have a look at my magnolia flower by my name.

I asked for approval for taking the liberty of changing someone else's photo, in the absence of that approval I thought it appropriate to remove it.
Btw, I didn't enlarge it.
Great pictures Digging Doris - very talented.
