Day 10 - Even Dragonflies Need a Rest

10.10.10 !! Just thought I'd add that to posterity Smiley
Taken this morning whilst on a 3.5 hour hike in remote heathland behind the coastal hamlet of Anglesea near the Great Ocean Road. Of course I was looking for orchids Smiley

Well done to get such a good photo.  We a red and a blue one flying over the pond.  I'll have to try to catch them next time.  Do you know the colour coding?  Does it mean female and male?

Time is like a freeway of infinite lanes, all leading from the past to the future. A driver in lane A may crash, while a driver in lane B survives, it follows that by changing lanes one may be able to predict the future.

Thanks Tim and Christoph, I was astounded to snare at least 15 in the time he/she was hovering, resting on the twig, hovering and returning to the same twig. My biggest worry was the autofocus because it was in a forest and there were grasses and twigs all around.

The red might mean turning right, blue for left. Clearly I have no idea Christoph but will have fun investigating now.
