Header Challenge - Dragonflies

 
I saw a few of these fast flying insects this summer, but none were still long enough for me to get a shot. These were found at Greenbrier Lake last summer. In fact, the one below has previously appeared in one of my headers.

    It is hard for me to get a shot of a dragonfly (we call them skeeter hawks) because there are so few of them here any more. I have noticed a diminishing of these (much like the lightning bugs. )
    Very nice shots!!

    I'm mesmerized by the angle of the wings in that bottom photo.

    They are so cool when you can get them still long enough to get a macro.

    These made me think of real WW1 bi-planes :-)

    Love that last one; I've never seen a red dragonfly before.

    (And hi--I may be joining your Headbanger group; I'm waiting to hear back from Craver!)
