Dragonfly

I was drifting along the shoreline of what I call Mink Cove across the river from Higley Flow State Park. A dragonfly was clinging to the stem of a Carex sedge right at the water's edge. It had apparently emerged from the water, and one of its wings didn't inflate fully. A dragonfly friend says it's probably a female Clubtail.
