Another fabulous addition to your gallery collection Erika. This is a superb capture, sharp in areas that makes this dragonfly so engaging. I'm impressed with your ability to identify these creatures. It's always a treat to visit your gallery! #9643779

How lucky to get this one still, long enough for a picture. On TV last week the had a segment on the fastest animals, these came in at 60klms/h or 38mph. A beautiful catch=^..^= #9708108

Thank you, Chris! They are pretty fast, could never catch one in flight. But at times they come back to the same spot to sit for a sec. #9709143
