don't you just hate it when.

I was woken up from my afternoon siesta the other day by the dogs barking at this Dragonfly on the bedroom ceiling, got the camera and half asleep fired off a few shots the best of which was this . I'm well mifted that I cut the tip of his tail off......next time...jeff....( the Dragonflys not the dogs)

wonderful creatures - I love 'em

well captured

Thanks judderman, yes they are lovely I've sat for ages next to a water cistern that I use for irrigation watching these beauties and failed to get a good picture they move so fast and erratically .
So I am sad that I clipped the tail off this one when it was sat still on my bedroom ceiling doh and double doh..........jeff.... shall I try a crop?

I usually only get woken up by the barking of Mrs Snap to get rid of a spider or moth Nice photo even without the tip of the tail

Thanks Stan I'll try harder next time .. jeff

Nice photo - don't worry too much about the lost tail

You should be pleased that this Dragonfly came looking for you Jeff, I have to get out of bed and go hunting for beauties like this.
