These are a few photos that I've taken this past summer, I have not identified them yet...I have ordered a book to help me in this process...and it'll be a slow one...I'm sure!! I really love the green damselfly. EDIT...Please see comments on I.D.
Nannothemis...Thank you for your expert I.D! From what I understand,(and I agree), I.D. of the damsels are more difficult than the dragons. I appreciate all the information you have given me. I just enjoy the damsels and dragons around my pond so much...afraid I'd overload my main Blotanical blog with photos of them..I began this one. Thanks for the visit!
I, like many of you I am sure, love the beauty that nature has to offer. I am originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area..."transplanted" here to a small country town just southeast of Canton, Ohio. I thought it may be nice to share some of what I experience here everyday at what my husband and I call..Wishnik Woods. To sit on our dock and watch all the dragonflies play tag and do their acrobats for hours couldn't make me happier(but who has the time for that?). I enjoy gardening and in my photos you'll see many up close and personal shots. I thank God everyday for my husband, family and our dream come true. Our little piece of paradise is not a showplace by any means, just a simple cabin nestled back in the woods, the place we call home. In a nutshell, a little of this and a little of that is what you'll find here in Wishnik Woods!

The males (green ones) are Fragile Forktails. The females are also forktails; Eastern and Fragile are very similar in this color form.
