Dragonflies

We have water here.   There are two creeks that run all year, one that runs most of the time and a couple of run off creeks.   It's lovely.  We have a lot of frogs and turtles and a lot of bugs.    Dragonflies are our favorites.

Here's a dragonfly gallery for you.    We don't know much about these guys and have been too lazy to look them up, so if you can identify them, let us know.


These dark ones with the single white spot on every wing are beautiful.


Then we get the gigantic ones with clear wings and fat gray bodies.
And we get the iridescent ones.   Green...
 and blue.

From the bottom, they look purple, but it's hard to get a pic of that.  They change color as they fly.
