Oregon Odonata: The Dragonflies and Damselflies around us
Odonata is one of my biggest passions and as we explore Oregon, we aim to capture portrait photography of every species in our state. I even give presentations on Oregon Odonata in my community to groups who wish to learn more about these amazing animals.
