More Dragonflies

My collection of Dragonfly pictures is slowly increasing

This one is called a Ruddy Darter, and no it's not what I called it for flying of

1, Mr Ruddy Darter


2, Mrs Ruddy Darter


3, Mr & Mrs Ruddy Darter on honeymoon


4, OK, I know there's more wrong with this picture than there is right, but I've been trying to get a shot of a dragonfly on the wing for weeks, but they are so bloomin quick my camera just couldn't focus quick enough, so I threw caution to the wind and put it in manual, and got this, which is a big suprise to me, as nothing I've taken in manual before is worth diddly-squat
