This is the first day of a few days of vacation and I am clearly all discombobulated. I have been to the dragon ponds down by the river twice already on my scooter, and processed images in between, but I have not posted my Pic 4 Today. Here goes.

This is a dark form, female Seaside Dragonlet. I have posted the more common orange tiger striped variety before, but this one is so nicely posed I could not resist.

Canon SX40HS. Program with iContrast and –1/3EV exposure compensation.  1680mm equivalent field of view (840 optical zoom plus 2x digital tel-converter function). f5.8 @ 1/320th @ ISO 200.

Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.
