Well I have been stalking the dragon flies again. Today I could only get rear or side views :) Every dragonfly I tried to shoot was landing on vegetation sticking up out of the water along the river bank about 3-4 feet from the bank. Not one of them would land facing forward or toward me.  I positioned myself everyway possible and even leaned over the edge but could not get in front of those pesky little bugs.  Oh well I guess it is best to document all views :)

I decided to take a little walk along the river and see if there were any dragonflies and I wasn't disappointed!

I believe this dragon fly was laying eggs.  She stayed in about the same time for a long time and posed so nicely for me.  She was far enough out in the water I had to use my 70-300mm lens.
