Lovely colours on this Darter, it was sat on the wooden seat I was about to join it but decided to take a photo instead.
After further investigations this is a Common Darter, Male.
An Airborne Artilleryman assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division Artillery quickly sets up camouflage netting over his M119A3 light howitzer during a Division Artillery Readiness Test on Fort Bragg N.C., March 2, 2016. The DART tests the battery in support of Global Response Battalion 1 on the their ability to conduct standard and non-standard fire missions such as the out of traverse, and emergency fire missions both day at night under stressful situations to ensure they can support any mission for GRB-1 within 18 hours of notification.

A male darter overflying me in kayak. The wing feathers seem to be translucent, so the sun shines through. I like the distinctive tail shape. There's a bit of stealth bomber about this bird.

I love almost any kind of wagon. I would trade my chevelle for the right wagon in a heartbeat. I think that they are the coolest cars. Especially the late 50's and early 60's.
Old Moor is certainly the best place to photograph Dragonflies, with the extensive number of ponds there is always something to see.
This is a Common Darter which as the name suggests are abundant at this time of year.
I don't know what this cat had spotted on the bank of the River Dart, but it was certainly holding its attention.

Darters' feathers are not waterproof, and since they are underwater hunters you will usually see them sitting out of the water on a log or rock with their wings spread right out drying themselves. Their feathers are permeable to water to allow for decreased buoyancy, so they can sink to catch their prey. They have an oil gland at the base of their tail which they use while preening and squeezing the water from their feathers.
