Skywatch #108


Jumbo Dragonfly, originally uploaded by duopastorale.
After a couple of weeks with very little sky in my photos we are now back in blue here in London. One of my daily walks brought a surprise as I happened on a giant dragonfly; jumbo in fact ;) Have a happy weekend.

What a gorgeous, intense blue sky! Really like that dragonfly. How lucky for you that the jet came by just at that time. =)
