I take our 18-month-old Brittany, Zoey, for runs at a private dog park several times a week. It’s a pretty place with a lake that attracts a variety of wildlife. I’ve been meaning to try my hand at shooting dragonflies and caught these over the last two days.
Awesome catches 💢❤️💢

This is a great set of Odes. Very sharp and well composed. Not trying to act like a wise guy but if you are interested and don't already know what you have here:
1. Dragonhunter (Hagenius brevistylus)
2,3,&4 Slaty Skimmer (Libellula incesta)
5. Widow Skimmer (Libellula luctuosa)
All are males. I enjoyed your set. I just commented to a friend the other day how odd the dragonhunters look. The head looks too small for the massive thorax. Have a great day.

No, not a wise guy at all. I had no idea what kind they were. I just thought they were interesting but now I know. Thank you. The Dragonhunter I thought was the most interesting. I’d like to get a better shot of him and a close up of those big green eyes.

Very nice set. That first one almost looks like he has his clown face on. 
Thanks...I agree!

Good shots! Really perked me up seeing the dragonhunter in the first picture. That one is a very special find.
