Description
I saw this male Broad-bodied Chaser ( Libellula depressa) sitting on a little branch. Before I could take the picture, it was flying away. But as some dragonflies have the habit of coming back to where they left, I waited patiently. In the meantime I was focussing on a Blue-tailed Damselfly ( Ischnura elegans) sitting a bit deeper. And suddenly I got a blue blurry spot in my viewer. It was the Broad-bodied Chaser that came back to this little branch. All I had to do was focus and "shoot".

Hope you like it...

PS - In Dutch this dragonfly is called: "Platbuik".

Nice to know: I submitted this deviation for the Bugs and Insects - May 05 Weekly Contest on *macrophoto
