Cleared to land Dragonfly Airlines flight 123...

The dragonflies that live along the shoreline have now largely died off for the season, but I'm still finding some in the tall grass meadows a few hundred yards upland from the lake. This widow skimmer liked this stalk of grass and as is typical of dragonflies, repeatedly returned to it after hunting. To capture a dragonfly in flight I'll take around a hundred exposures and then sift through them, looking for the one or two that are in focus; these guys are amazingly fast and change direction in a fraction of a second.
