Photograph: Dragonfly at the El Dorado Nature Center

Another dragonfly from this summer. Some red to hold onto while waiting for summer's return!

I think this is a flame wing, but I am still learning, so any correction or comment is welcome!

Dragonfly in the Dominguez Gap Wetlands

I took this this summer, the summer of the dragonfly. I went for years barely noticing them save as quick, bright darts. Last year, I began to see them. This year, they were everywhere, around the river, in the wetlands, all over. This one was in the Dominguez Gap Wetlands.

I believe this is a common green darner.

Summer Dragonfly

I took these in the summer, the summer of the dragonflies at the El Dorado Nature Center. It is a lovely, thriving place with an amazing variety of plants and animals.

I think the dragonfly might be a blue dasher.

Dragonflies in Huntington Beach Central Park

There was plenty of water left in Talbert Lake and also in the side ditches/streams/whatever you want to call them.

Perfect Dragonfly Habitat.

This makes for perfect dragonfly territory, and they were out in force, flying, flirting, and mating. They're beautiful, too, with that blue and brown mosaic pattern down the back.

This beauty came and sat on my aloe out front for a long time.
