Quick Visit

Common Whitetail Male Skimmer

The blue color caught my eye. Surprisingly, this is the first dragonfly that I've seen this Summer.
His visit was for only a brief moment. As a reflex, I quickly fired off one shot. And then, he was gone.

What a beauty! Quick shooting on your part to catch this dragonfly which looks like a Common Whitetail (if they occur down your way, not sure of their range). V
