A few more shots, natural light, handheld.

For weeks I have been seeing dozens of dragonflies flying in the yard but they never landed. Don't know if it is the change in weather or not but today I found several perched. There was a large pinkish colored one flying though that I wish had found a perch.

FYI, these were taken in a small section of my garden that had spring wildflowers that I didn't cut down after blooming. My wife hates it, but the bugs & birds love it.

All very good but 2 is my favorite, because of the wing pattern showing better.

Another good set, Dan - I like the lighting/exposure on the first one.
