Nice captures!
I believe your image #1 is a male Tule Bluet Damselfly (Enallagma carunculatum), and images #2 & #3 are most likely a male Pacific Forktail Damselfly (Ischnura cervula). http://www.cavette.net/photos/dragonflies.html

Great shots. Sharp. Never knew a tele extender would be that sharp.

This Canon 1.4mm III is remarkable. I always use it. Most other tele extenders are not as sharp.
I thank you very much, William.
