Linda, you have a splendid gallery about dragonflies and damselflies. They are my favourite subject too. Will visit again soon.

Hi Linda, sitting by my pond the other day, eldest son asked me, "What's that stick for?" I replied, "It's a Dragonfly landing stick" Yeah OK dad he laughed, 2 minutes later, a big beauty came hovering over the pond, I held the stick out just touching the water surface, & she landed on it about 12" from my hand, probing the water with her ovipositor. He got a couple of snaps with his mobile fone, nowhere near the quality of your shots of course, he couldn't stop shaking his head though!
All the best,
John.

Thanks John for your very kind comments. I agree they are really quite difficult to both photograph and ID them with so many variations - damsels are even more difficult I think lol. Well I am practicing at every opportunity so hopefully they will get better - now what I really want is a good close up like the ones Sayer takes :)

You're getting better and better, Linda. If nothing else, I find trying to shoot dragons an experience in ID skills - "ah, those ones never sit still, - ooh, there's a new one" Really enjoying your work. John

This gallery is really starting to take shape. You have varieties that I have not seen here. Aren't they just amazing to watch?
