Intimate Dragonflies
This photo was a lucky catch. I was scanning the grasses and cattails with my camera just to see if I could find something I didn't see with just my eyes. I happened upon these two in their intimate embrace. They were about twenty feet (about 6 meters) away from me. It's also interesting to see what looks like eggs on the females body. I did crop this picture slightly.

I'm curious what the "eggs" are.
