This small dragonfly is an Autumn Meadowhawk (Sympetrum vicinum) (formerly known as Yellow-legged Meadowhawk). They often perch with their wings folded forward - sometimes obscuring their heads when viewed from the side. These are usually the latest dragonflies to be found in the fall - in my part of the country. 40D, Canon 180mm macro, 1/250, f/9, ISO 400, macro twin flash, hand held. It was a windy day so I used auto-focus to get some sharp images. I removed some flash-generated spectral highlights. Comments are welcome.
