Suburban Odes . . . or Damsels in the Grass
Shasta County, 7/4/06

The family and I attended a Fourth-of-July bash at a friend's house in Redding. I hadn't photographed odes in over a week and was hoping to check out nearby Churn Creek. That wasn't to be. Fortunately, some damselflies, presumably from Churn Creek, were buzzing around the property of my friend. Here are three of the best pictures.

A male dancer, which I think is California.

A female dancer, which I also think is California.

A Lawn Dancer, Argia bermuda (just kidding). This is probably a California Dancer, female.
