Tricky to get good focus as the dragonfly clatters its way out of the bulrushes.
After clearing the pond all of the ones I have watched have flown off in the same direction (W).

Pretty much the only smallish semi-shade lily I could find, but it does very well and is quite spectacular.

There are usually a few of these at the pond at any time during the summer.
Even more difficult to photograph than the dragonfly.

Wings and abdomen in their final shape. Some waiting time now for things to harden up a bit.

Usually remain attached for a few days which is handy for counting how many dragonflys have emerged - more than ten so far this year.

The first time I've seen this quite early stage, pausing for a while after breaking out of its larval skin while its legs harden.
The wings look somewhat improbable at this point.
