How beautiful these are, Doc, and especially on the download. I can't wait for spring and the return of the dragonflies. I'm hoping you will help me identify some that I couldn't last year. :-)

Thanks for looking in Donna. You can either post the ones that you want identified (and let me know when you post) or better yet send them in a PM. I'd be glad to help.

Thanks so very much Sue. It's always nice to hear a nice compliment from you. Yes they are lovely creatures. I just can't wait for flight season. Stay warm.

The first and third shots were taken in Texas. You might see all of these dragons in your area except the Plains Clubtail. I just got back from Texas this week (80º) to 6" of snow here in SE Pennsylvania.
Thanks so much for looking in and your comments Tex. Just waiting for dragon and damsel season here in PA!.
