Dragonfly?

The right camera with the right lens and the right lighting when you come across the right thing is priceless! I have seen several of these "bugs" flying around lately but they rarely seem to stop moving. In fact, I was really happy to have gotten a decent shot of one flying around me a couple days ago, especially since I was doing manual focus.  This guy didn't stay put terribly long but he did actually stop on a branch and I was able to get focused and get the shot before he whisked himself off again. I tried to get a shot with some of the trumpet vine flowers in the background for a bit of color but he was on the move by the time I repositioned and I actually like the green I got here.
