Resting dragonfly

Last weekend when I was at the farm, a lovely dragonfly cooperated with my camera quite nicely. Maybe even she was resting in the heat. :)


Eastern pondhawk (female)

Certainly this time of year, the air just above lawns and fields and ponds is filled with dragonflies, but I've never seen an actual swarm. Apparently they're kind of rare, but if I ever do see one, I'll be sure to report it to this lady who is collecting data! Citizen science is cool.
