Thanks for the nice compliment, JoAnne. I've seen an abundance of dragonflies in North Carolina this year. I'll send some your way. :)

Thanks, Jeff! Much appreciated.
Apologies for the confusion. I shot this with my Samsung Galaxy S9+ camera but am planning to purchase a Nikon D3500. I was referencing how much better the shot could have been if I'd had a Nikon zoom lens. :)

Of course, it's a beauty. Mine is dark chocolate with pale blue spots. Still haven't taken its picture.

Wow this is a clear picture!
It's funny that you posted this. Just yesterday, I was out trying to take a few shots of a huge estate on top of a mountain by a lake near me, and came across a dragonfly. I was using a 150-600 Tamron G2, no support and a bit of a breeze which kept moving the branch and took these 2 pictures, they are no where near as clear as yours, but I think it is a fair shot.
Take care and thanks for sharing.

A question from an old bugman -- Don't libellulids have a long 'V' in the hind wing venation while aeschnids have the smaller, wide 'V' as in the photo? Are all my old memories gone to pot????? Appreciate your great comments!
Relbugman your memory functions are well in tact I would say. Yes, there are triangles in the fore and hind wings along with anal loops. Some anal loops are shaped like a "boot" and some peninsular. These can be used to determine family of the dragonfly. Great question sir.
