Wonderful images, John! I especially like the first one of the dragonfly. Was this taken early in the morning?

Thanks Mike.

He was in the shade but was getting a lot of shine from the sky so I shaded him with a black cloth just out of camera view.

Thanks Phil.

The first dragonfly was taken at about 7:30 AM which is about 2 hrs after sunrise this time of year.
