We wanted to let it loose, but also hoped to photograph it. It had pretty green stripes and blue eyes. Jim put it in a mesh bag and I took it outside. I temporarily put it in a plastic container with lots of open air and ran for my camera. I took a few mediocre shots then decided to let it loose using a long stick.
I poked the stick into the container and the dragonfly clung to the stick for 10 minutes! It could easily fly away! I took advantage of the time and gently moved the stick in a many directions while the dragonfly posed for me before flying away. I moved it in front of the driveway, the lawn, and the garden and changed the angles. Very cool! Here is one of my best shots.
