A beautiful Halloween Pennant dragonfly was hanging on tight to a grass seed head.
Small changes to his wing and body position kept him stabilized in the breeze.

Ellen, I love the one with the wings outspread. I’ve saved a 900px-wide 96dpi version on my ‘puter and wondered if you’d allow me to email it to a friend as a “Hang in there” encouragement?
Thanks, Liz. You certainly, may, and best wishes to your friend in need.
Thanks so much Ellen! I’m sending it to the bishop whose posts I’ve sometimes shared on my blog, in the state of LA, imagine what that must be like 🙁
You are welcome, Liz, any time! Sadly I can imagine, the news is very grim there right now and I’m sure there will be many more deaths that could have been prevented.
A beautiful dragonfly! I’ve never seen this one.
Thanks, Rebecca!
Beautiful Halloween Pennant. Nice clear background which makes the dragonfly standout.
It was really an optimal setup, even with the breeze. Thanks!
Lovely photos! They aren’t common here.
Thanks, Belinda. They are quite attractive, and nicely posed here in front of some waving grass.
The Halloween Pennant is one of the most spectacular species that I get to photograph. The last shot is really striking with the view of the fully outstretched wings.
They are quite attractive and I will be more tuned into photographing them in the future. Thanks, Mike, glad that you liked it!
