Dragonfly help!

I love to take pics of nature, while sitting out yesterday watching what I learned to be Mississippi kites I also took some shots of this dragonfly in our garden...I would like to see more pics of it on the net. I thought is was very beautiful. I followed it around the garden waiting for it to stop so I could get a pic, I can't find one though of it on the internet to tell what type it is.....so once again, if anyone can help identify I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Very cool photos. Dragonflies are cool. I love the ones with the iridescent green wings.

Thank you! :) They are really cool. I had never seen one like this before. I followed him around forever waiting for him to stop long enough to get a pic! I think he knew I was following!! lol
