Possibly a red saddlebags or Carolina saddlebags dragonfly. I am not good at identifying individual species. Photo was taken in Brackettville, Kinney County, Texas in August 2014.

Red Dragonfly - it showed up in my family's backyard on the day of my beloved mother-in-law's funeral. She always saw the world through delicate colors. Her spirit was strong.

This beautiful Flame Skimmer (Libellula saturata) dragonfly has been hanging out in our garden for a couple of weeks now. What a beautiful creature!
