Excellent Shot!! Such detail, particularly in the wings. Looks like a Sympetrum obtrusum aka White-faced meadowhawk.

Great picture! We don't see many dragonflies here

Very good capture.

The ones around here are so quick! I don't know how you got such a good capture...I probably tried for 45 minutes along the creek, I was wading up to hip at some points trying to get them and I didn't get one, on land they come far and few in between or I probably just didn't notice as well...wonderful catch, Konrad!

great shot - we have quite a few, but not that pretty

Thank you all!
Actually, I wasn't going to shoot dragonfly, I was taking pictures of those nasty caterpillars eating my Colorado spruce, I didn't catch it in time to spray soap water.

But later, I did go out to a local small lake, looking for things to shoot, there where some
large dragonflies cruising along the shore, but never landed on anything!..so I got some
while hovering for a few seconds.

OMG! Truly amazing...

The blue ones were the ones I used to see as a kid. I think they are mostly around water. I haven't seen any of them in years. Good shots Konrad.
