Every morning and sometimes in the evenings, a bird ( a bulbul, I think) will tap on our windows. Probably a narcissist in love with its reflection! This evening it started knocking away so I went to grab my camera. By the time I made it outside, it had gone. So I wandered about my tiny garden and I was surprised by a pair of tree shrews. I took two shots hoping the camera settings were correct or not too far out. I will post the tree shrew picture in the Runner Up album.
So I thought I had my photo for the day and I was walking back to the front door when something started buzzing around me. A dragonfly eventually landed on my ponytail palm. It wasn't an easy shot as I was using my telephoto lens and the leaf the dragonfly was on kept moving from the breeze. I did manage to get decent shots from the side and from the back.
This had been a fast moving thing. When I saw the preview on my camera's LCD screen I was amazed by the colour! Below is a side profile of the same dragonfly.
