Flame Skimmer

I was quite excited to spot my first dragonfly of the season today and even more so when it stayed still long enough for me to get several shots. I think he's even smiling for the camera. I was amazed at the bright orange color! Nice on black if you have time.

Thanks so much for your comments and favs on my Green Heron with Grasshopper photo! Very much appreciated! :-)
