Lotus, Bees, and Dragonflies

The Lotus flowers have started to bloom. This morning there were only two flowers that had opened up, but I still managed to take quite a few shots, especially with bees and dragonflies hovering and flitting near them.

Here are some more shots of dragonflies. I was hoping to see other kinds of dragonflies, but only Blue Dashers and Eastern Amberwings were at the lotus pond yesterday.

Eastern Amberwing: this one flew in from the lotus pond and landed on the gravel path just a few feet from me.

What would summer be without dragonflies? This past week I went to the lotus pond near our house and photographed the following dragonflies.
Eastern Amberwing: small dragonfly somewhat difficult to photograph.
Blue Dasher on lotus bud: very common dragonfly in our area

There were several other types of dragonflies at the lotus pond, but the photos I took did not turn out well enough. Will try again another day.
