Sunrise dragonflies - 06-04-2011, 09:14 AM

Critique: NC:

Returned to my new hunting grounds at sunrise and found two skimmers just emerged and one just beginning its' day.

#1 Widow skimmer, I think

#2 Same species, different dragon, these first two were within six feet of each other

#3 Looks like a pennant but not sure

#3 is freakin' killer Kenny!!! Other two aren't too shabby either. Good work sir. I'm guessing you found a well taken care of spot.
