Thank you for the ID Cindy--just saw this comment.
Perhaps a Variegated Meadowhawk? This one looks close http://bugguide.net/node/view/469601/bgi...
lol--by the way it is on an ice plant. Thank you Dangermouse. :)
Okay, can't you tell I'm a gardener? My first thought when I looked at the photo was 'oh, I know that plant! Great shot of it.' ..... and then I realised I was supposed to be looking at the dragonfly! D'oh! Great photo of the dragonfly too, very vibrant colours on him. :)
