In spite of being stuck in the city, I have actually seen a few dragonflies. They are of two rather common species. The first one, an immature male
Plathemis lydia (common whitetail) dragonfly who was not shy; he stayed quite still and seemed unconcerned about me and my camera:

Another dragonfly I saw was a mature male
Libellula pulchella (twelve-spotted skimmer), who was hanging out in the insect garden at the Montreal Botanical Gardens:

This one also was not very shy, holding still and steady while I stuck my camera in his face.
There are also a few of the much shyer
Ennalagma civile (familiar bluet damselfly), one of the most widespread and common North American damselflies. This one was photographed at the insect garden in the Montreal Botanical Gardens.
