I decided to try and get a photo of a dragonfly in flight. Out of many many snaps I got a kind of decent one surprisingly...

That is cool. Birds are tough enough, but dragon flys have to be quite a challenge. Good stuff here! Thanks for sharing.

An outstanding shot Alma. I've been shooting dragons for 15 years and my in flight shots are never that good. What you have her is a Globe Skimmer, Globe Wanderer or Wandering Glider ( Pantala flavescens). They can migrate many thousands of miles over open water from one continent to another eating on the wing. Some of their migrations are much farther than the Monarch butterflies. Well done.

Very good effort. They are difficult to capture in flight. Keep practicing.
