Description
OK, not my best shot but I caught this dragonfly, flying through the pond grass, out on our front lawn. Thanks Leeco - it is a Widow Skimmer. I bet that you thought, that I could not describe a photo, in less than a thousand words? Zoom works very well.
Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Oh, I love seeing dragonflies...we have quite a few around our koi pond and sometimes they are very friendly, landing on the edge of a glass, a drink stirer or even a finger. We always freeze and enjoy the beauty of these beings... Nice capture!

Nice capture. I am pretty sure this is a male Widow Skimmer.

Now you're getting into Andrea territory. I've never seen a dragonfly of that ilk before. Kind of looks like a multiwinged bird. Great shot under the circumstances, Dana.

A super capture of this dragonfly on the wing. I can see why it is called a widow skimmer.

I really and sincerely love this composition - what is there not to like about all those reeds ? - and the bonus of this most unusual and gorgeous dragonfly ? BTW it's a new one for me ... ah, live and learn more every day, thanks for sharing it, Dana BB
