Stunning! Whenever I've tried taking photos of dragonflies they always fly off before I get a good one

Wow @Shirlpit2 ! The one with the pink body is beautiful! I've never seen one like that before! Where are you located?

I love dragonflies and watch them daily, during pond season. They land on me or my chair often. I have them in most every color. A few months ago, I saw a brown one in the parking lot of a supermarket. Seems I didn't have one in that shade, I debated on catching it, and letting it loose in the car until we got home. Trout like them, too. Especially the blue ones.

I live in Sarasota,FL and the pond is part of my property a drainage pond for the community

Thanks for your reply

I'm a real fan of dragonflies and love trying to catch them with the camera. I've gone so far as to even catch them underwater! Dragonfly nymphs are carnivores and love worms, I had one in an aquarium and would drop a worm near it, while the camera was set up.

@Stephen T. That's a great photo, thanks.

Here's a lucky shot! Catching them in flight is really a matter of a lot of wasted shots. They are such incredible fliers, fast and often moving with random direction changes.
