I know I posted earlier today... but I was doing something in the back yard, when this guy flew up... he darted around in a very maddening way before he finally settled long enough for me to take a pic...
Now, I've seen lots of dragonflies in my life, but never one quite so violently red... this picture doesn't do him justice! He almost strobed in the Texas morning sun.

If anybody knows exactly what kind of dragonfly this is, I'd be really, really glad to hear it! Btw, there was another one flying around also, not quite as red, more an orange coloration... maybe it's another kind, maybe they're the male and female of the same species, or maybe the coloration just varies. It wasn't sitting down for no dang pictures though...
