16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Red Dragonfly at Pond

This visitor to our pond in rural New Mexico showed up. We were glad since I witnessed the last one being eaten by a Canyon Towhee. Oddly, this one would fly away when I tried to shoot from behind, to capture its wing, but was fine offering me a front on headshot!
