I didn't even realize until later, when I was looking at the pictures I had just taken in my computer, that his wing was ripped and missing a piece.

What a excellent shot. He/She almost looks like a cartoon character in the second picture. You have a good eye and camera for photography.
I wasn't sure these photos of this dragonfly would turn out well because of the cloudy day but decided to try and see what would happen. Glad I did because I was pleased by the wonderful results. This little guy was just hanging around on the finial of the flag pole secured in one of my potted plants for about a half hour. I love the closer shot the best!

Another walk in my garden with camera in hand, looking for what will surprise me today. Look what I found perched on one of my garden stakes. He was just sitting there resting and looking around. I think he saw me coming over with my camera. I don't think dragonflies are shy at all. At least the ones in my yard, don't seem to be.
I'm in zone 7 and have a lot of dragonflies. I feel I'm lucky in that respect. I live between the woods and a river, with a field on two sides of me. Wildlife is all around us.
I did some research on this beautiful dragonfly. It is a Male Scarlet Darter Dragonfly. He has scarlet red and some light orange on his veined wings, which I found to be simply beautiful!

I saw this little one setting on a flower pot. I just had to get the camera, and get a shot of him.

This little guy landed right on my fence and sat there so nicely while I took several pictures! He even let me get up really close! I love dragonflies!

Caught this picture of a Dragonfly on our deck.. They really are beautiful creatures
My yard is absolutely loaded with dragonfly right now. I was outside taking photos of my garden for my photo diary when I noticed this little guy drying out his wings sitting on the clothes line. I'm surprised at how close he let me get while taking photos. The array of colors is stunning, from blues to reds to golds and more!

I was checking my raspberries last summer and noticed this dragonfly resting on one of the bushes.
I had my camera outside to take a picture of a window that needs to be replaced, and this little guy landed right next to me and waited to have his picture taken.
Dragonfly taking a moment to pose for a shot. I was lucky to capture this shot.
In a beautiful place in Auburn, CA filled with flowers and other wildlife, this dragonfly wanted to make friends.
