Dragonfly basking

I was able to sneak up on this dragonfly basking in the morning sun. It took a little effort to get the background in place to complement the dragonfly but he stuck around as I was jockeying for position.

This is a fine view, Ry.  Even with the back lighting, you've got good details showing in the df.  The glowing background adds a fine sense of summer.
