Thirty Strangers - One Question: What makes you happy?
It's blurry ahhh! Serves me right for shooting at f/1.4... I was tempted not to post this one, but I think her wonderful smile makes up for my mistakes. And cupcakes are totally happiness-worthy.
Great Pond / Eleuthera Island, The Bahamas
The day that our group visited Great Pond on Eleuthera Island, I saw my first dragonfly in The Bahamas so, of course, I had to spend a little time taking photos of it. Almost immediately a saddlebags came to mind and I was thinking Antillean Saddlebags at the time as that one, among several others, has narrowsaddles as opposed to broadsaddles as in Red Saddlebags . But, when I returned home and began researching images and Dennis Paulson's Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East, the saddlebags that comes closest to this image is a female Vermilion Saddlebags. Yet, this image shows even narrower saddlebags than the photo that is shown in Dennis Paulson's field guide. I have posted this image to Western Odonata this morning hoping for some feedback and confirmation that this is a female Vermilion Saddlebags and if it is, it would, of course, be a lifer ode for me.
Dennis Paulson Dave, the purple I can see on top of the frons and the purplish tinges on the thorax indicate it is an Antillean Saddlebags, Tramea insularis. I hope this is a lifer too!
