dragonflies and butterflies

We have the prettiest dragonflies flying around the house these days. It's hard to tell in the pics but they have a purple tint to their body. So neat. And there's usually 4 or 5 of them flying around.

This time they kept flying around my tomato cages. So I had to stand there for a few and wait for them to fly back so I could get some pics.

Then the other day when we were out by the pool I saw a few of these green dragonflies flying around...

And some little butterflies were flying around with him...

Sometimes nature is just so neat!
