So near yet so far away. - a photo on Flickriver

So near yet so far away.

            A male Broad-bodied Chaser (Libellula depressa) eying its territory in one corner of the pool at Apedale Country Park which lies between Knutton and Chesterton in Staffordshire.
It kept returning to the same spot which was unfortunately a little too far out into the pool to get any closer for a shot.
