Awesome Dragonfly

This guy (or girl...I didn't ask lol) was actually quite friendly. He let me get really close and only freaked out once by lifting up and then landing back down on the same leaf.
I used a selfie pole to get the camera closer before crawling along to get close enough myself to depress the shutter.
I kept trying to get photos of the much larger blue dragonflies but they were moving non stop. This one was nice enough to let me take photo after photo of him and at different angles.
