It is quite a joy to be able to photograph a critter in flight, usually in the form of a bird. But this not-bird was staying in the same area for quite awhile, zipping around slowly and hovering for long enough to get some pics. A lot of the shots had blank sky in the background (how BORING!), so I chose this one to share with the unmistakable leaves of the now famous Blurry Plant in the background. Just for you.

Awesome picture! We have tons of dragon flies here.
