Dragonfly in the Sun in My Backyard

I am not sure of the species. But this dragonfly was using this twig as a perch, leaping off to grab prey, then landing in the same spot. I put the camera on Macro, reached up as close as I thought I could without it fleeing, and snapped a pic. Yes, this and most of the other bug photos are cropped out of a larger original.

Very good capture. The details on the wings are sharp.

I do love dragonflies and I agree with Sue - the sun shining on the wings is beautiful. Thanks Jim.
