I have had some fun with dragonflies the last few weeks since they moved north into the area. Several photos are from today at a local Kent park. I'm not the best at ID's but I do enjoy them.
Widow Skimmer - I loved the dead flower it was on.
Common Whitetail - Up close and personal.

You don't need ID's for pretty pictures, and these are beautiful!
You got some great shots here Fishing Guy.
I love dragon flies but I can't seem to find any who want to sit still long enough for me to get pixs like you did. These are great FG! What's your secret??
WOW!That is some amazing photography.
Blessings,Ruth
Love your great close ups! Fascinating!
Beautiful! What are the one's that are blue-green? Love those too.
Fishing Guy, you have photographed so well the dragonflies! What a nice series!
Interesting the solutions in the previous post.
Fantastic shots Tom. It is always a pleasure to see pictures of them.
I must say you got real good macro shots. Amazing creatures. I have always wondered what they do besides mate as I always see them near bogs, ponds and marshes but never in my backyard. So they do something around water but I don't know what it is.
These are excellent!
I like them. They look so alive.
Oh, wow, these are very intriguing close-ups! How do you manage to keep them from flying away before you push the shutter? I rarely ever get to catch any of these moving subjects, even ducks in the pond dive away, leaving me with the ripples in the water! ;-)
These are great photos, Tom. I'm very impressed that you captured these quick-moving creatures.
Very nice shots and to get so many in one outing! Great job Tom!

Good pictures of the dragonflies, Tom.
Sorry we missed the "What is It?" this week... I may or may not have guessed a bunny!!!!
Hope you are having a good week.

Love the shots, FG!
That window skimmer looks as if he's saying, "Dude, do ya mind. Kinda busy here!"
Great photographs. I love dragonflies too.
Oh Man, that last shot is perfect! I clicked to enjoy it up close. That was so cool!
They are fun to photogragh. You know the name of so many bugs, insects, fish and well you get the picture!!
Great photos... none of them around here are tired enough to rest, I suppose because I have tried to get a photo. They just skitter around and tease me only sitting for a mere second!
Beautiful dragon pics fishing guy! You got to photograph so many! I am really impressed and envious. I'm told there is a great place to go and see them a few miles away from where I live so I may have to cycle down there and check it out. I hope I have the same luck as you, I only saw one last time I went looking :)
How evolution got them to this delicate balance is amazing to me.
Very nice! I've only seen a few but none of them wanted to sit still for me.
Wonderful! You got some great shots!
Wow-I never knew dragonflies could be so pretty!
