Dragonflies, Damselflies, Etc

These photos include images of various dragonflies, damselflies and strange flies. The challenge of catching these creatures on film is that they are so quick and alert. To get close enough to get a clear shot you have to move excruciatingly slowly. It always helps to wait for a breeze to rustle the foilage and leaves so that your movement is offset by other movements.
