Dragons and damsels (pics included)

[Steve Foss]

Here are several from this morning. The two dragonflies I've identified. Haven't figured out yet which damselfly was laying her eggs. The latter two images are the ones I like best because of the backgrounds.

Chalk-sided corporal

Said damselfly

Four-spotted skimmer

Four-spotted skimmer II. The red in the BG is a chunk of reddish duckpond lily pad

Steve, you are right about the last two. I especially liked the last shot. That red spot and the sharpness in the wings is great.
