Dragonflies hang out in the sun for energy. This one was so tired it stayed for its portrait.

I was shooting something else when this bee flew past and landed very close to me. I am not one to miss an opportunity.

It’s a damselfly like dragonflies the more I learn about these killing machines the more fascinating they are. Macabre but true.
