Dragonfly

On an uninspiring visit to a country house family 'fun' day, I stopped by a pond at the centre of the ornamental gardens and noticed this damselfly (or perhaps it is a dragonfly) settled amid the lily pads. Neither close enough nor suitably equipped to get the macro shot I would have wanted, the picture nevertheless has, I think, a compelling simplicity.
