My first decent dragonfly shot! I occasionally see dragonflies patrolling up and down our long driveway, but rarely do I see them land where I can photograph them. This guy was hunting along the Ceanothus bushes along our driveway and after several minutes of watching him, he finally landed where I could get close to him. The dark spot on the posterior base of the hind wing makes me think he is Pantala hymenaea. (live oak/chaparral habitat).
