Handsome from every angle. Hey, today i actually saw a dragonfly in AZ at work when I was walking back from lunch. He lit on a bush and just stayed there but I didn't have my camera with me, I was so disappointed! I finally could have gotten a decent d-fly shot.

@Candace: Isn't it always the case that you get a chance and don't have your camera? It's happened to me too many times.

I loved it!
