Had a lot of chores to do today but got out in the heat this evening. Caught this dragonfly sitting on a barbed wire fence. He let me get in pretty close before he flew away.

Canon XSi, Canon 100mm Macro, Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX with both heads on 1/2 power and Stofen diffusers, and a mono-pod. EXIF embedded.
