This is the fourth installment in a series of themed posts featuring photos of Blue-faced Meadowhawk dragonflies (Sympetrum ambiguum) spotted while photowalking Huntley Meadows Park during Fall 2014. All individuals are males, as indicated by their coloration and terminal appendages.
All of the photos were taken during October near a vernal pool in an enchanted forest. Just kidding! Well, the part about the vernal pool is true. As always, please view the full-size version of each photo in order to maximize your enjoyment of one of my favorite odonates.
The following photo is one of my favorites in this set.
The seed pods in the next photo remind me of an Asian sculpture. Go figure. And what can I say about the color of this guy’s eyes? Wow!
