Two years ago fellow blogger and dragonfly enthusiast Mike Powell (https://michaelqpowell.com/) identified a similar sighting of mine as “probably a juvenile female Great Blue Skimmer.”

I’m not much further along identifying dragonflies than I was then, especially females and juveniles.

I do like to photograph them even if I don’t know what they are, and liked the three different background options this one gave me.
