Blue Dasher (female)

local time: 10:33 am
Cordova, Memphis

female Blue Dasher
when i had started with Blue Dasher males, i had no idea how the females looked like. and when i found this dragonfly, and had to get its ID... i got to know it was a female Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis).
till then no problem :)

this particular dragonfly was perching in a small wood near the lake in our residential complex. she had chosen a perch where the golden light of our about-to-set Mr Sun had fallen... now don't know whether it was a coincidence or the dragonfly preferred that light amongst the shadows made by some huge trees...

this photograph was taken on 26th July, 2012... at 7:09 pm. here, sun sets around 8 pm... so, 7 pm is not evening. enough sunlight is available then.
i was out on a walk when i got see this new dragonfly (then). it was glowing! i hope i could capture that feel. the photograph was taken using my Canon PowerShot SX40 HS. a little bit editing then using CS5.
