Kerri, awesome Dragonfly! I've never seen one like it. I'll bet Steve over at Shooting My Universe would know what it is.

I'm glad your Mom is still with you this year. Your family has been through enough stress, that's for sure. Here's hoping she keeps doing well for as long as possible.

Kerri...It appears to be a Calico Pennant.

JC said...

We only get the big blue ones or the smaller red ones. And, I'm so glad your Mom is going ok. I survived a coma and know all about close calls and recovery.

Barb said...

I'm happy that your mother has such a loving Family, Kerri. Your dragon is spectacular - it really pops against the greenery.

Catherine said...

So glad you were able to spend such a wonderful day with your parents. Each day is a gift and we so often forget that!

Your photo of the dragonfly is so amazing ~ the colors are fantastic. I love dragonflies and look forward to their return on those hot summer days!

For some reason, I've always thought dragonflies were green...geezzz I guess they are all kinds...this is a wonderful photo!!!

Phyllis said...

I've never seen a red dragonfly - brown, blue and green, but never a red one.

Kerri, It is a male Calico Pennant. Males are always red when mature. Females and immature males are orange. Lovely photo of this little dragonfly too.

Oh my goodness - check you out - this is fabulous!

So glad your mom is doing better, too! Only God knows the timing for our lives.... my neighbor that I'm caring for is under hospice care now - but we'll see - all in God's perfect plan.

Kerri:
I'm just stopping by briefly (am at work) but wanted to tell you that you must submit this photo to Pioneer Woman's Macro contest. Really. It's beautiful and she loves bugs. Could be a winner!
