So It Is Hard To Turn A Blind Eye While They Flit By...


Here are, yes, a few more pics I took of the dragonflies out at the lake...
The first one is one of those big fish that got away. Look how close I came to getting an awesome picture...

Damn.

Amazing. Our dragonflies are all sorts of irridescent (sp?) colours - did this just not show up? or are these a different kind do you think?

Really nice!!
Have you been doing any research on the names of these dragonflies? They're very cool. Thanks for the photos.

Hi Anne--

Shirley looks like she had it right. It is a Twelve-spotted Skimmer (Libellula pulchella)...
