Field Notes

Description:

Another photo of the Great Blue Skimmer dragonfly I spotted during a photowalk through Huntley Meadows Park on Monday, 13 June 2011. Look closely -- the detail that is visible in the dragonfly's wings is really astounding! Sometimes the iPhone camera works remarkably well for such a simple device.

Habitat:

Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,425 acre wetland area in Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Related Resource: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntley/
