Dragonflies [Wheel Position]

Posted by Nature Spiral (Victoria, Australia) on 12 May 2009 in Animal & Insect.

[@ home] The first of a few dragonfly/damselfly photos in this mini-series. Bent , In Flight I & In Flight II are a few earlier dragonfly photos in the collection.

This is a mating pair of Blue Skimmer dragonflies in the wheel position (although it doesn't look like a wheel here). The male is standing on the land with the female hanging beneath him. When the male has a hold of the back of the female's head, they're known as being in tandem.

Thanks for stopping by my visual journal! Any comments written, are greatly appreciated.

I take photos because I enjoy it, I find it relaxing, it's a creative outlet and because I can't draw! lol I have no style to speak of. If something catches my eye, I'll photograph it, as I perceive it. I'm experimental if I do any PP work to a photo, as this is part of the creative process for me. So as you can see, I have no aspirations to be a Master Photographer. I take photos simply because I enjoy it. If you're interested there are more bits and pieces here.
