The weather today was scorching, making the work on the plantation particularly challenging. I undertook a variety of tasks, such as clearing the edges of the plot, watering the chili and tomato plants, and planting oil palm seeds in the adjacent area—all essential agricultural activities. Although the work was exhausting, I persevered because it is becoming my primary occupation, and I know that hard work eventually yields satisfying results. While I was taking a break in the hut, I noticed a "soldier dragonfly" flitting about nearby; it was neither particularly large nor small, yet it possessed a truly unique appearance. When it landed on some wild grass, I immediately tried to approach it. I initially attempted to photograph it using a macro lens, but that proved extremely difficult; the need for close proximity risked startling the dragonfly into flight, so I had no choice but to use my mobile phone camera instead.

Fortunately, I managed to capture five photos of this particular dragonfly, and a few of them turned out quite satisfying.
Alright everyone, I’m going to share some photos of this dragonfly here.
