\"HalloweenMating Halloween Pennant dragonflies – Nikon D200, handheld, f7.1, 1\/200, ISO 200, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I am fascinated by “things with wings” and that includes dragonflies like these mating Halloween Pennants (Celithemis eponia<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The day I took this I was wandering around Roosevelt Wetlands in Pinellas County, Florida in search of birds to photograph. The area has a high concentration of different kinds of dragonflies and when I spotted these two mating I knew I had to get some images of them.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
