Amidst the soft, calming greenery, a tiny dragonfly perched peacefully. It was as delicate as a needle. Luckily, its bright color made it easy for me to spot it. The tiny dragonfly was called a Pinhead Wisp, a species of damselfly, a member of the Coenagrionidae family.
When I first spotted it, it was perched on the tip of a blade of grass. After I snapped a few pictures, it moved on and settled on another blade of grass. I followed it to its perch. I took another photo, and it repeated the same thing. It moved again, now perching on another blade of grass. It landed in the middle of that blade of grass. I followed it and continued photographing. After just a few shots, the dragonfly moved again, now on a blade of grass with a hole in it. This was the final spot it chose. It didn't move again until I finished shooting and left.
Judging by its location, it was a dragonfly with extensive experience in photography. He was adept at choosing his spots and staying still while being photographed. He gave me time to take the photo, but not for long. The shooting had to be fast. The spots he chose perfectly complemented his body shape and coloration. His body coloration perfectly matched the background, making him appear more vibrant.
