Well, not actually a dragon, but my first dragonfly
of 2008!
I think that means Spring is really here!!
He looks metallic green with light blue on his tail.
This is the same shot as above, I just rotated it to the right so youcould seem him horizontally. He actually landed vertically, as the
first shot shows. I was so excited that these shots turned out.
This guy was really TINY!

I can't identify him, but I identify your photo as AWESOME!!
Hi Kerri
It's called the 'Common Bluetail'
Ischnura senegalensis
Have a look HERE
We were looking at the same things this week...I was shooting dragonflies too. I believe this little guy is either a Zebra Longwing or an Eastern Pondhawk. Lest you think me so smart, I just saw a sign about dragonflies posted along the walk at Green Cay Wetlands. The orange spotted ones are definitely Halloween Pennants.
Great photos Kerri. Such delicate little creatures. I love their little maneuvers and tricks they play amongst the leaves and flowers. Fun to watch.
They do make for wonderful flyfishing as well! =)
Amazing colours on these little creatures! What a lovely shot.
the things you capture! another 2 wodnerful shots!
Nice shot Kerri. Haven't seen dragon flies for ages
Hey Kerri,
Nice shot - green with envy!
Keep the guy away from Michele ;)
Oh my goodness that is a terrific picture!! It's so clear!!
He's lovely. Its still so cold here...hurry up spring!
Nice dragon fly pics. These lil critters make awesome captures!

All I know is dragonfly:') Great shot!
Love your squirrel from the other day also..
Wow, great shot. With Spring there are more exciting things for us all to capture.
The first one, congrats!
Great shots, Kerri. It's a damselfly and I think "Bluetail" is the name. I'm eager to see them return to my pond!

That's lovely--but I can't put a handle on it.
Just a wonder to appreciate on a warm day...
I have always loved dragonflys - they are interesting to look at and do such great things! Your dragonfly is unlike any I've ever seen - the colors are magnificent!
