My friend in the greenhouse Well I know you like to share MH but I hope you keep "your friend" on your side of the water...!! They do have lovely markings and are useful creatures but they just make my skin crawl!!! I do hope it is earning it's keep?? RF |

Could be newly hatched Carol, I am seeing quite a few at the moment, I reckon the rotten summer has put them back a month  I had to smile when I read an article in a local paper this week that said they'd found a 'new' dragonfly visitor to the marshes behind me ... I think I got a photo of one two years ago  x Tig |

And as if by magic today, one decided to do a spot of sunbathing in the garden, I dashed back for my camera and it was still sunning itself - this is one of the Migrant Hawker Dragonfly which have been visiting us for years and years ....  Side view  x Tig |

I'd never see it otherwise.  What a beauty Tig. I was doing a bit of rushing for the camera myself yesterday, saw the first Hummingbird Hawkmoth in the garden for about 2 years, they used to be quite regulars. Only the one pic, you should have seen how many I took of the Bud, were he'd just moved off i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/rolleyes.gif  Jillyx |
