This lovely ruby darter is hovering over a dirty creek just outside of Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve, Tai Po, Hong Kong.
Possible Needhams Skimmer. I found this beautiful dragonfly at the Houston Arboretum Nature Center in Houston Texas while hiking.
Photographed recently at Santee Lakes. I used a Nikon SB 700 as an on camera flash, in TTL mode, to try and provide some separation from the background.
Other dragonfly pictures that I've taken can be seen in my Butterflies & Dragonflies album.
Telling the difference between Common and Ruddy Darter comes down to a few small differences.
This Ruddy Darter in Holt Country Park, Norfolk made things easy by posing nicely on a head of grass showing off his all black legs nicely.
hovering on the edge of stillness, the dragonfly reads the wind like a note in a score — weightless, listening, almost gone. against the faded backdrop of summer light, time briefly hesitates before the inevitable release.
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday have a great day folks ;0) (Think I'm correct on the ID but feel free to correct me if not.)
Saw this red beauty perching on this twig peeping out from water. The fly kept on returning to the same place at regular intervals.
The black dots are not dust on CCD. They are small insects gliding freely over the water surface. You may see them as rings at the top and bottom of the frame and it is called "doughnut effect" created by the mirror lens. This effect can be seen clearly in the first picture below.

When you are exasperated by interruptions, try to remember that their very frequency may indicate the valuableness of your life. Only the people who are full of help and strength are burdened by other people's needs. The interruptions which we chafe at are the credentials of our indispensability. The greatest condemnation that anybody could incur--and it is a danger to guard against -- is to be so independent, so unhelpful, that nobody ever interrupts us and we are left comfortably alone.
