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!

Happy Saturday Everyone!
PS - If anyone can identify this guy, please leave a comment! It would
be VERY much appreciated!!
I can't identify him, but I identify your photo as AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kerri
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Kerri. Such delicate little creatures. I love their little maneuvers and tricks they play amongst the leaves and flowers. Fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteThey do make for wonderful flyfishing as well! =)
Amazing colours on these little creatures! What a lovely shot.
ReplyDeletethe things you capture! another 2 wodnerful shots!
ReplyDeleteNice shot Kerri. Haven't seen dragon flies for ages
ReplyDeleteHey Kerri,

Keep the guy away from Michele ;)

All I know is dragonfly:') Great shot!
ReplyDeleteLove your squirrel from the other day also..
Wow, great shot. With Spring there are more exciting things for us all to capture.
ReplyDeleteThe first one, congrats!
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteJust 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!
