Red-Eyed Man ~ Camera-Critters #180
Another "lifer" for me!
I had never seen nor photographed a male Meadowhawk dragonfly.
I had, however, photographed a female Variegated Meadowhawk.
Well, last weekend, while at the pond (shocking, I know),
I saw a red dragonfly, and I immediately knew what it was.
We played a game of Tease...
it's kinda like "Tag", but the dragonfly is always it,
and lets you get just close enough to lift your camera
and then it flies away.
We played Tease for quite a while.
Then, finally, it let me have my wish...

Great phots, dragonflies are so colorful!
Great shots of the Meadowhawk. The second shot is my favorite. Have a great weekend, Misty!
I love photographing dragonflies, BUT I don't know the names. Thanks for filling me in on these male Meadowhawks! Great shots!
Amazing photos. I admire your patience to hunt down these small creatures with a camera.
Beautifully colored little critters.
You got wonderful shots Misty!
I chase dragons too but I've never seen one of these.
You got one! How sweet it is! My dragon/damsel ID books just came in the mail this morning. I'm beyond excited. I blame it on you. :P
You succeeded! Just beautiful captured of its color and amazing details on the wings.
Fabulous shots, Misty!
