Dragonfly in KY

Here is another dragonfly that I saw in KY this summer.

I haven't been able to find out what kind it is.

It’s not as pretty as the Amberwings or the Blue Dasher, but is still unique.2 070cs

Some are moving so quickly it is almost impossible to get a picture…but this one seemed to enjoy it. It looks as if the wings are hinged with bits of gold.

It spent as much time watching me as I spent watching it.2 089cs

  5. He's very beautiful. I especially like the closeup shot. Those gold "hinges" are really striking.
