Resting

Inspection Flight 2011-06-11 I went out yesterday afternoon specifically looking for dragonflies (it's still a tad early here for them) and zowie, I found one. This male emporer darter kept inspecting his territory, so I had several chances. Still, a lot of the credit here goes to autofocus and image stabilization. And even 1/1600th didn't stop the wing action. BTW, here is a picture of this giant taking a (very) short rest: http://www.jerrybarton.eu/Landscapes/Danube-National-Park/8024413_Qn5S9#1331827247_NRF5S7X
