I had noticed these dragonflies flying around the vernal pool.  They would not land so I could get a better look to identify them.  I had one other shoot where I was able to capture an image of one but with a background I did not like.  I had made my ID from that shot.

It was late morning and the air had warmed enough for them to fly.  The water was higher in the vernal pool and I did not want to do the setup for insects so I grabbed my bird camera and sat down on the walk to shoot them absentmindedly.  I had "motor drive" enabled at the rate of 8 fps.  They hover every once in a while and with auto focus I found it easier to shoot them than with the insect setup which requires manual focus.  I liked the background of these two shots.
