Dragonfly pics in other colours

These are some more dragonfly pictures I took in our garden. There was a dragonfly with a dark blue head and the rest of his body was of a bright red. I wanted to take his picture and ran to get the camera, but just as I wanted to click his picture one of our cats jumped at him and he flew away. Too bad that I wasn’t able to click his picture; you don’t see dragonflies with 2 bright colors that often in our garden. You won’t find dragonflies with a turquoise head that easily in our garden also. The head of the turquoise headed dragonfly below looks a little bit like the head of a turquoise painted monkey with big green eyes;)

Dragonfly in love!

 You can find lots of dragonflies in lots of different colours in our garden. This pink read-headed photogenic dragonfly didn’t even fly away when I held the camera right in front of his face, as if he was blind or could he have fallen in love with the branch? Could ‘love is blind’ also be meant literally? I actually don’t know what he exactly was doing holding onto the branch; looks like he was kissing it. Could that be the reason of his read head? Hmmm… that will remain a secret between the beautifully winged read-headed dragonfly and the branch...hehe. I was able to click pictures from all sides without much effort. I think he or maybe she looks adorable and in love!
