Great find and photo. I've never even seen this one let alone get a photo!

Thanks, Betty. I was sitting on a log by my pond, and the dragonfly was doing calisthenics on this dead plant. I'm pretty sure I've seen them before.

Ronald, I'm thinking Banded Pennant. I got a shot of one this afternoon and am about to upload it, My photo isn't as good as yours ;-) . This is a first see for me.

I like your identification a little better. They are very similar. The spots on the wings look a bit more like the online photo of the pennant I found www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/insects/dfly/usa/342.htm. The pennant is not in the Kaufman Field Guide.
