Walking the tightrope

Another great summer day, another darter. We're at Martine's aunt for a family barbecue. Excellent weather, excellent food, excellent company. The last day off; tomorrow it's back to work...

I couldn't believe how close the dragonfly allowed me to come. This is an iPhone capture, with the phone about 5 cm away from the dragonfly. Later, I touched its wings with my finger without the insect flying away. A lazy day for the dragonfly I guess :-)
