As I was wading in our swimming pond clearing out algae this afternoon, this lovely couple came into the picture. So I ran inside, grabbed my camera, and was happy to find them still flitting about the waterlilies in the pond. First time I've been chest-deep in water taking photos!

Enallagma
And possibly to probably Familiar Bluet (E. civile) but I don't think they can be ID'd for sure from this shot.
