Finally figured out that the ones with the pretty blue abdomens were the males and the darker bodied ones were the femail widow skimmers. (Before I just thought they were dragonflies :) ) This is about all that is moving down by the creek in this heat - the creek is nearly a drybed - they are fun to watch though.
Beautiful capture! I haven't seen any dragonflies since last week. There's still no rain in the forecast, but the temps are supposed to be 100 and 101 this weekend. My wildflowers are dying.
