Thanks, Charlie. Dragonflies are usually quite skittish when I approach them. I haven't had much luck, but I have seen some very good images by others. Good luck!

   Both are excellent, Jim. Good catch. We have had a bumper crop of huge

I experimented with aperture settings when I shot these images, and both
f/3.5 and f/5.6 worked ok.  The first is another view of the wings spread
out.

And then one with the wings upright.  (I believe that is a Skipper hiding
in the upper right corner)
