Awesome lunchtime photo walk at Woodmen Fen in Kettering, Ohio. First good chance to get a true dragonfly photograph. The Red-Veined Dart's were numerous and with a little patience and careful approach, they were willing to be photographed. What a difference a day makes. I was prepared and didn't have the comedy of errors from Tuesday. Today - a great success!
