This female mosaic darner dragonfly (family Aeshnidae) was depositing eggs in a backwater area on the lower Mad River in Humboldt County, California on August 14, 2010. I think it is the blue-eyed darner (Aeshna multicolor). The blue-eyed male is one I found a few years ago in the same area. This was shot with a Nikon D90 with 70-300mm VR lens.
Good shots.
