Things are looking up!

- a large dragonfly - Red Saddlebags, per Paul Hueber - he was Huge! - kept coming back to the car antenna - yes, there are many photos of him against that blue canvas sky - seen in Central Florida, USA - 09.02.2011 - taken at 10:56am EDT - warm, sunny day - in a parking lot - about 3 inches long .. maybe longer - the patterned area of the bottom wings seemed to blow in the breeze separate from the wings - a few other dragonflies around, but not as large nor did they have his markings - Thanks, Paul for the ID ~ © All rights reserved
