A Day of Dragons and Damsels

I wanted some better turtle photos than I had for reference and thought I knew just the place to find them. There have been plenty in previous years--as many as 20 sunning on a log--but not today. Today was a time for Dragonflies and Damsel Flies, a few bees, a toad, and a lizard. I didn't mind because I'm absolutely in love with dragonflies. They are, however, very flighty and hard to capture at times. Thank goodness I have a zoom lens. Even so, some of those really good photos (what I consider eye-candy) are the result of cropping so that the star of the photo really shines. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
