Unexpected

I almost didn't take a camera with me when I went looking for pond plants. As it turned out I put the wrong lens on it. As soon as I stopped to look at one small pool a brown hawker flitted past my eyes and began egg laying among the broad-leaved pond weed. I guess there isn't a perfect lens to take everywhere on the off chance. It will never be long enough or wide enough for what you see. An 18-200 zoom is versatile, but always seems to fall short when some interesting small creature is spotted. But then so does a 70-300, and I bet an 80-400 would too.

However, a crop produced a result that shows what was going on - after a bit of work.
