Red Dragon(fly)

This morning, as I was watering my in-ground figs (one of the first times this summer it was necessary) I came upon a striking red dragonfly or "mosquito hawk" as they were known in the backwoods South. He (or she) was very satisfied with his vantage point and maintained his perch as I retrieved the camera and snapped a series of pictures. Although the fig leaves were not the focus of the picture, note the spots of rust on the leaves. Hopefully, sun and time will remedy the situation.
