Hello Steemers!
A couple of months ago the dragonflies were out in full force putting on a beautiful display. Every morning they would pose on the plants around the garden giving me plenty of photo ops. It was harder than I thought it would be to get them fully in focus shooting handheld, but I was happy with these shots I got of a very happy & smiley looking character!
Photos taken with my Canon 60D.

Really very beautiful, it's true that it's difficult to take pictures,
more than birds!
They are very fast.
I took some of them this summer, for a good photo I made at least 30 shots!
They certainly are fast! It took me plenty of tries to get any decent images. Thankfully it seems they like to return to their favourite spots, as this dragonfly kept coming back :D
Beautiful pictures and beautiful creatures, you must have an very good lins and zoom on the camera to get so close.
Thank you @mrpossible, I used a Sigma macro lens for these photos!
Ok i see, it must be a very good lins then, to get such great photos.
WOW These are so beautiful and yes I love his smile and sparkling wings! Upvote and resteem for this super super quality that I LOVE so much!
More please!
Thank you for your support @sallybeth23 :) happy you like the photos!!
That first one is superb - can see every little detail when zoomed in - might be coming to you for some tips! :)
Thanks @noeyedear1966 - I appreciate your thoughtful comment. Sure, I'll help you if I can!
Stunning shots GC!
The first has incredible detail, and the second has truly wonderful form... you have a brilliant eye!
Upvoted and resteemed :D
Thank you @icedrum - it takes a lot of patience to get these shots right! I always feel I could do better but I am happy with these. Sometimes you have to take a break from photos and come back to them to be able to appreciate them more :D
Thanks for your U&R as always!
Have a wonderful day :)
@gardeningchef - beautiful camera shots of your wonderful dragonfly! I love dragonflies, they are great friends to have for a garden I believe. They eat other bugs that might want to feast on your plants! Good post... upvoted!
I couldn't agree more @wealth4good - I always celebrate seeing dragonflies and mantis' around the garden as they are very helpful allies to have around, not to mention beautiful to watch!
Thanks for your feedback and upvote :D
