Title: Autumn Dragon

In the countryside, not too far from where I work, last autumn.  This is the "aki-akane", the autumn darter.

He looks almost golden.  With a name like "darter" it must be hard to catch a picture.

Well done. Is that a twig he is holding on to?  I love the sharpness of the veins in the wings.  Perhaps this would be a good one for the current challenge.

These do have a gold tint.  And that is a spent cosmos flower it is clinging to.  Thanks for commenting.  I'm glad to share where and when I can.
