Tired Of Running Away

i thought that dragonflies always stayed around water (not quite sure why, but I assume that the only places I've seen them before is by a lake) , so I was quite surprised to find one in the garden. Especially since everything is so dry around here. And it wasn't that eager to stay still so I could get a picture of it either. I think I followed it around the garden for atleast 30 minutes before it gave up and even allowed me to get close enough for my camera to demand more distance to take a picture. I used to be scared of these. I don't know why - just look how cute it is! :)
