Yesterday I saw this beautiful dragonfly on my walk at our local wetlands, a city run water reclamation park. I’ve identified about sixteen so far and discovered this is a new-to-me dragonfly discovery.
I was glad the sun came out to shine on this beautiful guy!

Wow! Nice shots! I saw a lot of dragonflies down at Assateague Island. Did not get a picture of one though as they did not stick around long.

Well, my dragonflies will often stop and pose for photographs!! 😊 I’m traveling in the fall and I hope to find some new dragonflies. I’ll be curious to see if they will be easy to photograph.
