Despite having planned to head off to Dorset this Bank Holiday weekend to an Oak Fair, in the end with 28 degree temperatures we decided to en vacances à la maison as the French would say. Very nice it was too just sitting and relaxing, watching the insects that flood into our garden, mostly thanks to Julie who has filled every available space with insect friendly plants. I spent a goodly part of the afternoon trying to photograph both myself and the numerous butterflies, with limited success. My attention then wavered towards the dragonflies which buzz and fizz across our airspace. This most obliging female common darter spent at least half an hour on top of this bamboo cane. Even coming closer to get a good view, it remained on station. So there you have it, man and beast as one.
