Just a few shots today, taken early this evening, of a common darter that I spotted resting on a branch of our small apple tree. 
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens.

22 Aug 2011Darko, I've not been out looking for dragonflies this year, so I've been pleased to see the few we've had in the garden.
