After research on the internet I believe I have the identification of this dragon right.

Thank you for your comments.

Whitetail huh, but it looks nothing like what I think of when thinking Whitetail, lol. Nice capture of this dragonfly. I see them often but never knew their proper name.

See that 'Lydia' (lol) is ready for take off again.
Think you were just in time to take this wonderful close-up, Sandi.

Well done again!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

You have captured him in the takeoff mode Tigz. He is probably delivering the male. :)
Great shot.

Description fits the title. Good that you got a light colored background to catch him on. He looks very much like a plane ready for take off!

Reminds me of a World War 1 biplane (except for the lack of a tail) Super shot, Sandi.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
