Default Black and Militia Dragons.
I finally found the Dragonflies. The were there all the time, by this artificial lake in Rishon LeZion I told you about on my previous post.
I was expecting to see some birds but while the sunlight was good the only creatures out there were the dragons. I thought I'd share them with you and seek some comments on those pictures.

That first picture is great. The DoF is so good that everything on the legs and body is clear to the wings.
