Dragonflies
Dragonflies are always really cool, and a couple of them held still to have their pictures taken.
I'm really sure of the ID on this one. It's called a Chalk-fronted Corporal. My dragonfly ID consists of looking at pictures in a book, but this one is pretty common. Sorry for the non-natural background, but it liked our bag. What can I say?
This one's identity I'm less sure of, but it seems right. This is called a Blue Dasber, but this is an immature male, so it's still brown. I got several nice pics of him as he perched on a weed near the pond of July 5. That all sounds right as the book says it perches on shrubs and vegetation beside ponds.
I sure think they are beautiful!

years ago I went to a talk on Dragonflies, I was enthralled, there are fossils from before the dinosaurs, plus if there are dragonflies breeding the water is good.

The first time I got a really good look at a dragonfly was when I found one floating in my pool. I was amazed with their wings. They are a very unique creature and totally fascinating
when i was young, i used to chase dragonflies, now, i hardly can even capture one with my camera :(
Not so often I saw the black and white dragonfly. This is so cool!
Such a beautiful photograph. I have always been intrigued by dragonflies.
I'm only seeing the corporal, but it's a beautiful picture. The orange of your bag really makes it easy to see the dragonfly. I love these creatures.
Thanks for sharring importent information in this blog.
It was very nice.
