This is a female Common Whitetail Skimmer. The male has a white tail. The wings .. classic dragonfly stuff.

This is another skimmer .. a Red Saddlebags. This is a new one for me. I am sure I have seen one before, but I do not recall photographing one. I love the wings.

Check out this cool looking Widow Skimmer. They are one of the group of dragonflies, also known as King Skimmers (Wikipedia).
I love this photo for other reasons too. This guy is having lunch. It looks like a fly but it certainly is an insect. I guess like me, he is a carnovore, or at leat protein based. Part of the circle of life.

Bug time. The top photo is a male Blue-fronted Dancer, a species of Narrow-winged damselflies.
The second photo is also a male. This is a Eastern Pond Hawk, a species of skimmer.
They both have some amazing eyes. The color is amazing ... nature does blue very well.
