Dragonfly in Flight

July 7, 2002  A Wandering Glider came up to me while I was taking pictures of a Painted Bunting, so I decided
to take a few photos of the dragonfly since it seemed to want itself captured on film.  It was really neat to see how
it held its legs against its body as it was flying.  Occasionally it flew off to chase other dragonflies away, but always
came back to the spot right in front of me.  Dragonflies are so amazing and beautiful!
