Dragonfly (mostly taken from my seat at the computer- I'd taken off the window screen the day before because critters kept posing outside the window)

OOOOOO...my lovely lizards are back! Lovely, lovely creatures!
These are wonderful pictures!
I know that dragonflies are very shy, not easy to take a picture - and such lovely ones!

Thank you!

The secrets to dragonfly pics : 1) If they perch somewhere, they will *probably* go back to the same perch even if they fly away for five minutes. As long as you DON'T MOVE (like lowering the camera) 2) Don't let your shadow pass over them. 3) Don't move close enough to disturb the air around them. If you haven't got a zoom, you haven't much chance of getting a good shot.

Nice instructions - no zoom - no pictures. Only from you :-)
