I went back to the pond a few days ago and spotted a Broad Bodied Chaser outer skin still clinging quite hard to the leaf, even knocking the leaf didn't dislodge the skin.

The distortion had be guessing the car but I think it's an old Beetle? Don't remember the rag top having a roll bar though?

More like a Fiat 500 I think

Well shot, #5 hits the mark for me

The 2nd shot is superb and should be perhaps titled " Oh no not another lens test "

I would clone out the OOF yellow and purple flowers in #1 as the eye went to them straight away rather than to Rio's eyes

Superb shots, very lucky to have a successful mating pair soooooo close

Took a stroll down the very local SSI site yesterday afternoon, not been down there for 15 years or so.

Within a few minutes there was a male Broad Spotted Chaser dragonfly on a stem and then 30 mins later a female who proceeded to lay her eggs on a leaf a fraction under the water about 10 feet in front of me.
