Dragonflies are a most interesting insect. If you examine their bodies closely, they look more mechanical than organic. I found this one sitting atop a century plant. They eat small insects like mosquitos and flies so, they like to sit in high places to watch for good sources of food.

They are interesting insects. I find them hard to photograph, they always try to stay away from me!
Excellent photography Sharon.
Amazing shot, set perfectly against that beautiful blue sky!
I'm not a great friend of insects, but this guy is very photogenic!
Nice shot Sharon! It really shows off how delicate their wings are.
They can still make me nervous flying a bout. Duck!
And they come in several colors! Nice shot.
It's pretty amazing how they fly. Love this macro.
Beautiful capture. I enjoy watching them fly, and since they gorge themselves on mosquitoes, they're quite welcome to me!
I had one land on my shoulder this week as I was watching a turtle in a pond! I tried to get my camera up to catch a pic but he flew away to my back!
Anything that eats mosquitoes and flies is a friend of mine.
Wonderful composition.
And this one was looking for a good photograph and found one...
They're a bit like the falcons/eagles of the insect world :) Wonderful capture Sharon.
I am always fascinated by their gossamer wings. This one is a beauty.
They DO look like little machines. Some roaches and beetles are the same -- like little tanks!
Wonderful capture, Sharon!
