I am on vacation in Atlanta, Georgia, this weekend, so here are some recent photos of dragonflies that I have taken so far this spring.

Slaty Skimmer selects a delicate perch at the water’s edge.

This Painted Skimmer was a new visitor to the fish pond.

Lily pads are popular resting spots and excellent for basking in the sun.

Eastern Pond Hawk chooses a perch just above the water’s surface.

Widow Skimmers are one of the more vibrant dragonflies at the pond. They will often perch a good distance away from the water.

Spangled Skimmer is an attractive dragonfly.

The aptly named 12-Spotted Skimmer is an unmistakable dragonfly.

Some dragonflies prefer a more vertical perch.
