Walking through an overgrown sunken lane on a hot summer's day,
there was just the occasional flash of the sky
between the low hanging hedgerow trees.
The heat of the sun filtered,
making the lane a cool green sanctuary.
We were not the only ones sheltering from the glare.
A female Broad-Bodied Chaser Dragonfly was quietly resting in the damp grass.
Her extraordinary black gold livery with shiny chocolate brown eyes
She was staggeringly beautiful.

#30DaysWild - what beauty have you seen today?
She is beautiful. It's a shame but I rarely see dragon flies. Perhaps we need to make a pond.
