Here are a couple of dragonfly shots I like. I'm stuck with dragonflies until more birds of interest show up. The first one is of a male Pin-tailed Pondhawk. (I posted a different photo of one on July 5th). This male was perched out in the middle of the pond. In order to get a better photo of it I put on wading boots and placed a stick closer to shore. The stick was crooked and slumped sideways in the mud from the vertical position I had it, but whatever! It worked.
Next is a pair of what are probably Plateau Spreadwings. They're the bottom two on the stick. (The top one is a Blue Dasher) All my IDs, of course, are per Kelly. I'd be lost without his help.

Dragonfly design always made me think of The helicopter models used in the Television Series "Mash".
The Damselfly always reminded me of something dainty , delicate and gentle. But like Dragonflies, who knows what their rough housing kids are like under the water.
