Here's one I've tried catching a shot of.He does follow when I water the plants.I like its white stripe across wings.its also larger than the others in my yard.my red ones returned this year& I some green ones that hang in one area.When I'm fishing,they useually land on my bobber or my beer. I'm still working on a closer shot.

njoynit, that is the same dragonfly as the first picture in this thread. That is the MALE of the species. The first picture was of a FEMALE.

*nother dragonfly lover here* I can never get enough photos of dragonflies. Sometimes they cooperate..sometimes they don't! lol Here's a shot I got at the lake one day. This little guy sat there forever like he was posing for me. Now why can't they all do that? Bigger photo here

Inspired by you all, I went out and tried to take a few shots of the dragonflies that haunt my garden. I was really hoping to see this gorgeous blue dragonfly but found the brown one instead. Here is my album , I just hate to shrink the pics, and I really should start cropping them down to the main focus. I just love the detail you get with a monstrously huge picture. Sarah

That's hot (sorry, I'm a Paris Hilton fan) . Sarah, you can identify any living creature, plant OR animal, using eNature.com. They have online field guides for all flora and fauna of North America. Using their Advanced Search, you can fill in the blanks to reduce your choices of lifeform you are trying to identify down to just a handful. Here is the site: eNature\'s Field Guides

Thanks for the link Thornius! I'm going to have to bookmark it for future reference. The dragonfly I had hoped to see was a Twelve Spotted Skimmer. Such a pretty "bug". And, I'm guessing, that the one I got pics of is a Common Whitetail.

Sarah your photos are GORGEOUS girl. I'm like you..I hate shrinking photos..especially those in macro mode. Leave'em huge! lol Dragonflies are too fun to shoot. I guess it's the whole thrill of "how long can ya be still for me". lol Here's the last one I shot. I haven't looked him up yet but he sure is green. Dragonfly

I really like your album you got there! It's always fun to coordinate the color of the page with your dragonfly. Makes it much more dramatic and attractive. And, what a great pic!! That guy must've been posing for you, just begging to get his picture taken!!

I saw Swarms of Common Whitetails today in a small creek about 100 yards east of my house plus two beautiful American Goldfinches.

Wow, I bet you were wishing you'd brought your camera!!
Kim, I just looked at the rest of your pics in that album, and I've got to say, those look awesome. I really like the pictures of the praying mantis. You could've warned me about the spider pics though. lol
