SquareUp Photo Challenge: Camping at Carnarvon Gorge, October 2020 #7
Dozens of jewel coloured dragonflies hover over the water of Carnarvon Creek. They flit from one rock to the next, resting for a few seconds before zooming away like tiny rockets. We’re keen to record their beauty but, by the time the camera’s in position, they’ve already moved on. Capturing one in a photo is challenging and getting a clear image is cause for celebration.
In January I’m joining in with Becky’s Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word up. Look for #SquareUp
You are so right – they are marvels of nature but lightening fast. Great shots, and I’ve never seen a red one so thank you. 🙂

We just learned to be patient and be ready for one to settle on a rock. They weren’t always cooperative.

Don’t worry I often have hundreds of blurred shots when out enjoying nature. Makes the good ones extra special!
