Excellent shots of these dragons Robert. What you have here is a male Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis). It must have been hot because he is doing what they call obelisking. He is pointing his abdomen toward the sun to expose as little of his body to the sun and he's using his wings to also reflect heat. Nice job.

Thanks for stopping by and educating me on these creatures. I have very little knowledge of dragonflies. I put you on my buddies so I might be able to learn more about them. Thanks again.
