Marshland Darter 2010-07-29 Saw this little guy in our garden on the way to the car, and stopped to take a few shots. Rather common, but haven't seen it in our garden. Goes by many names - here it would be the "swamp meadow dragonfly" (Sumpf-Heidelibelle). It is sitting on a branch of lavender. There are more shots of it in my Garden gallery (http://www.jerrybarton.eu/Landscapes/Our-garden/) Thanks for your comments on my B&W yesterday. Encouraging, as always.
