Dragonfly Temperment

 
Is that a smirk on its face??, Lol!
Hairs!!
The bokeh here is incredible !!!
Dragonfly Temperment by [ r ♥ c e y t ♥ y ] {I br♥ke for bokeh}.
This has to be the most stubborn dragonfly I've yet encountered. He (she?) refused to face me - as you can see from all these shots. I have one head-on blurry picture when its patience ran out and it charged me. Then I called it quits. 
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

You were beaten by a dragonfly!!! Shame on you. It sort of looks like a female as the males are usually more colourful.

Anyway I love the result Patience is a great virtue, well maybe as long as you get the shot in the end!
