    Wow Bethie! Thanks. I'm so glad that you guys liked them. I have to tell you that I found this fellow so interesting (and pretty) that after taking pics, I just sat and observed him. The more I watched and looked, the more fascinated I was with it.

    Sjoerd,
    You mentioned that you'd like to see some of our dragonflies. This was the only one I could get to pose! The photo isn't nearly as good as yours, but this is the only one I could get--they are quick little things! The dragonfly is on an Autumn Sage (salvia greggii).

    My goodness, MG--that dragonfly has nice colouring. I appreciate you taking the time to show this fellow. This is a good foto, I can see him quite well. Thanks also for including the name of the plant that he was on.
