Wow... the background isn't that great... but look at the dragon fly!

I know, I wish he/she would have chosen a better place to be still!!

A friend of mine says he thinks this is a Halloween Pennant (Celithemis eponina) but he's not %100 sure because a lot of pennant dragonflies look alike. Nice shot. Here is another pic of one: http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/insects/dfly/oh/341.htm

Thank you very much for the info. We have really had a bunch of Dragon Fly's this year. And so many colors!

a unique blend of nature to see ,exotic dragonfly with the background of leaves

im scared shitless of those bugs, but they sure are pretty.

LOL Now thats funny. But believe me, they will not hurt you at all!

Beautiful photography ,very nice nature.

I love dragon flys..wonderful picture!!

Thank you again Una. I too, enjoy watching them. They are so colorful, wish I could have gotten more pics of them.

I love dragonflies. This has to be one of the best shots of one I've ever seen. So detailed! Great job.

Thank you so much. I wish he would have chosen a better leaf to land on!!

nice capture, never actually seen a dragonfly stop and think "why am i here" so i like this pic!!!

Thank you so much Speedy, now that you mention it, he does look like he is thinking!
