Thank you all! This dragonfly was in no big hurry and sat there for awhile. I had my zoom lens on and was able to get several shots before it flew away -- this one came out the best.

BennyPix: Trust me, the pleasure is all mine. Your dragonfly is so lovely that I am now using it on my new blog banner. Dragonfly matches my blog title and I love flowers.

By the way, I wrote a short post to thank you. Thanks.
