I love, love this shot, Ellen. Pennants are really cool and this perch is amazing. (This pennant species is a new one for me–I don’t think that I have even seen a photo of a Four-spotted Pennant before.)
Thank you kindly, Mike! This was one of those times I didn’t see the full potential until I got home and was quite pleased.
I’m reasonably certain on the ID, based on “Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East” description that eliminates similars.
I am pretty sure that is what you photographed, based on the photos and descriptions in that same book. Nice job.
Artistic indeed!
