Dot-Tailed Whitefaces

I took this photo last July, near a bridge over the Kettle River in Banning State Park. There were lots of dragonflies, but I wasn't having much luck sneaking up on them, so I decided to stake out a pretty rock and hope a dragonfly would land on it. I didn't have to wait long at all before a Dot-Tailed Whiteface showed up; he even came back several times to perch at different angles.
