Purple dragonfly sunning. On a fern.
Location: Pinellas Park, Florida
If you like Purple dragonfly sunning, you may also enjoy Red dragonfly sunning or Blue dragonfly sunning…
…And you will almost certainly enjoy my friend Diane Blastorah’s shown here:

What an unusual colour! Exquisite creature poised so delicately! Great capture!
Yes, it is unusual. I’ve seen a few, but not so many as the reds, and the blue/greens seem to outnumber all others combined.
Thank you for your kind words!

well, my girlfriend likes dragonflies …and purple stuff …and I’m about to bring her over here for a look, and that can’t be a bad thing.
Thanks for the comment, bearwings! I hope she liked it. This is one of my own favorites, too.

Wow…….great shot! I’ve never seen a purple dragonfly.
I don’t get to see many, so it’s always a thrill! Thanks for the comment!

I never seen purple dragonfly before, how beautiful!
They really are eye-catching and stand out from the “crowd” of other dragonflies. Thank you for commenting! =)
