I couldn't get sharp captures of these flying dragonflies, but I did get a couple pics of them laying eggs in the hot tub. (I told them it was a mistake, but you know kids just don't listen.)
Here is a male Common Whitetail:

A Peck's Skipper, I presume.
I'm also linking to Anni's I'd Rather B Birdin'. There were plenty of goldfinches along the W and O.D. trail, but this was the only one who let me get close enough for the G15:

Nice capture of the dragonfly. Thanks for sharing.
Great captures! We have tons of dragonflies / damselflies this year, but it's been a challenge to capture them!
Nice shots of the dragonflies. They are such delicate creatures.
dragonflies are quite tricky to catch. But it is fun to try :)
Jolly Fun!

Hello, great post and images. I love the dragonflies. Sorry, I am just catching up after being away. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy day and week ahead!
Laying eggs in the hot tub...oh no!!!! More lovely shots.
Maybe you could not get the sharp flying dragonflies, but they are clearly visible :-) another dragonfly is pretty sharp, just like the butterfly. The bug I find amazing on the purple flower. The yellow bird a surprise.
