There be Dragons!


One of the most refreshing things you can do on a hot summer day in southern Spain is walk up a water-filled gorge. Unless you walk for seven hours, but that is another story and the current subject of much domestic discussion...  Anyway, it turns out that humans aren't the only ones who enjoy the cooler environment at the bottom of the gorge.  This dragonfly enjoyed a brief rest on a stalk of grass from what seemed like a very busy life.

Confession time: my insect recognition leaves a lot to be desired. This may be a damselfly rather than a dragonfly...
