Friday, I went out again, in search of the greatest photo ever taken. I didn't see any lizards, and oddly enough, haven't for about two weeks now, but I did come across a couple of odonate, or dragonflies...one of which I briefly saw and was unable to get a photo of last year.
The dragonfly above is known as a Band-winged Meadowhawk. I've always loved their bright red bodies and tinted wings.
Above is the one I missed getting a good shot of last year...a Variegated Meadowhawk. Though not as pretty as the Band-winged Meadowhawk, in its own way, it is still a gorgeous critter.Misty Dawn's Camera Critter Meme is a great way to see critters of all types.

Great dragonfly shots! I haven't had any luck with these this year. Such busy little fliers.
Beautiful. I love dragonflies. We don't see them as often here in PA, as we did in Florida... I miss that!
My Camera Critter
they are both beauties!
I've never seen one in person
Lovely photos! I only ever seem to capture demoiselles - the hawkers are far too busy!
I love dragonflies and these are beauties! Thanks!
I got my first dragonfly shot this week by the hardest.
They and the damsels are so hard to capture.
I'm wondering if you use a tripod?
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.

Amazing photos - such beautiful little creatures. :)
Beautiful shots we have so many dragonflies down here in NC. I have noticed they sure are curious little fellows.I hope to catch a picture of one soon.
Great shots. I am having such trouble naming all the bugs I have found, but progress is being made.
I posted a Camera Critter , too. My birds are easier!

What a beautiful dragonfly! love the color!
I love the Dragonflies, we don't get to see any dragonflies around here. I really miss them, I managed to see some on my last visit home and was very excited.

What you mean "not as pretty... in its own way..." pffffffffffft
Purple-eyed Camo Girl is WAY pretty!!! What are you blind?!?! Geesh
Besides, the story that goes along with my first sighting of her is very cool!
Your photos are great, especially with those words explained all behind the image.
