Dragonfly - Explored - a photo on Flickriver

Dragonfly - Explored

            I thought I would give everyone a rest from my 2009 holiday photos and add some photos of a beautiful dragonfly that I discovered in my garden late yesterday afternoon. As most of the dragonflies that I have seen lately have been tiny, it was a surprise to see this much bigger one just hanging around on an Azalea leaf. He must have had an itchy eye as he kept scratching it with the leg on the top leaf. I did get a photo, but it is a little blurry. I found the name of this dragonfly Australian Emperor (Hemianax papuensis).
