Common Green Darner male III or Anax junius

Oh I know.... he's got messed up wings. He was so fearlessly patrolling & guarding this spot while we were there. He chased away many other dragons. So this battle scarred dragon makes it in due to his character. There are those who adhere to "repairing" such shots. This is not normally my "vision" - I prefer showing Nature as it is.

This is a straight vertical crop from a horizontal file. Probably about a 45% crop on this one.
