I went out today looking specifically for a Black Saddlebags Dragonfly in flight. Saw not a one. But there must be 50,000 Blue Dashers and Darners at the lake. Identification was still problematic but ... this is Fred.
A Blue Dasher in subdued light. He would dash in and out to this branch tip. Slow exposure for a moody effect.
Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
I am grateful for your continued support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!
A Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis sp.) sitting on a branch. This was taken at the Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens, which is a terrific place to see (and photograph) dragonflies and damselflies in Washington, DC.
Enjoy!

Union Pacific C40-8 9033, the once Chicago and North Western 8511, was rolling a similar roster mate westward light engine at Wheaton on the Geneva Sub near sunset in 2007.
Now working for Canadian National as their number 2010, the old standard cab General Electrics were heading for Rochelle to pick up a train.
This guy is still my best friend.
He's getting on up there in age, but he's still happy and healthy and loved.
The blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a dragonfly of the skimmer family. It is common and widely distributed in the United States.[1]
Mature males develop a bluish-white pruinescence on the back of the abdomen and, in western individuals, on the thorax. They display this pruinescence to other males as a threat while defending territories at the edge of the water.[2]
Mature male with blue-white abdomen and thorax
Although the species name longipennis means "long wings", the wings are not substantially longer than those of related species. Females do, however, have a short abdomen that makes the wings appear longer in comparison.[1] The blue dasher grows up to 25–43 mm long. Juvenile males will show female coloration before they turn blue. Females are paired with yellow stripes on the dorsal side of the first 8 abdominal segments, the part of the body that lies between the thorax and the pelvis and encloses the stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, and pancreas; more commonly known as the belly. Females are also reported to turn blue, but at a slower rate then the males

This is the boulder dash. It goes 60 miles per hour, and the biggest drop is 115ft. It is built of only wood, and goes through the mountains/woods of Lake Compounce. It opened at Lake Compounce in 2000 and the park paid 6 million dollars. It won Top Wooden Rollercoaster back in 2004, and has been ranked in the top 5 for 9 years. To see it in action click here.
CSX B36-7 sits out overnight on a spur in Columbia, South Carolina in late 2008. It was a matter of months before CSX retired their remaining Dash 7s, so I was very glad to have got this shot.
Dropped into the pond for a quick drink, splash & dash. I'm assuming a female house-sparrow but I'm probably wrong. Lots of juveniles about at the moment.
This shot is with flash. The next is without and I can't decide which I like better. It looks like he is smiling in a smug sort of way.
Biker with very compatible combination of clothes, backpack and object on pannier rack.
I did not do anything to the colour. Happend in the centre of Berlin, next to the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus (-house) close to the river Spree.
Built in 1991 and still wearing its original Yellow Nose 2 "Bright Future" scheme, CSX C40-8W 7671 was surviving into at least 2018.
Running light on the Indiana Harbor Belt at CP Calumet Park, the old Dash 8 is a survivor. For now.
