Fancy Foot Work

The feet caught my interest, the back two are in an odd position. They are mostly in the shade of the body, and this was taken on a very hot Arizona day. There is obelisk posture (like a handstand) dragonflies assume to prevent overheating on sunny days. Sometimes a little fancy foot work is what it takes to get by when things get hot!
