They are faster and harder to photograph than our native Anna's. I have gotten quite a few good shots at this point, but I have had lots of misses too. There is a lovely fountain at a regional park where it is easier to photograph them. I'll post some of those too.

Gorgeous shot. Was it difficult? I never was able to capture one, they are way too fast for me
