My very good friend June from back north near Chaumont helped me by solving the puzzle as to what type of dragonfly this is! Now June is a birder friend of mine and is REALLY into butterflies too, dragonflies...not so much. But didn't she come through with the name for my "up" challenged fellow. 
She told me she thought it was an Arrowhead Spiketail! I Bugguide.net-ed it and yep, that's what it is. I still kind of like my name for it better!

This is the better image of the two Evie, whatever its called.
Thanks Barb!
You're right Roy, I like this one better too!
That's interesting. And your photos are great! I haven't had any luck getting good pictures of Dragonflies.
I love dragonflies as well, but haven't captured them digitally nearly as well as you have. This dude is gorgeous!
Wonderful photos of your dragonfly Eve. I've never seen this type before. It's a beauty and love the detail when it is enlarged.
How did I miss a good Alabama blog? I am down in Mobile. Glad I found you! Have a great weekend
Eve,
Good eye, you saw those little arrows and your name was kinda close to the real thing! I always love the wings of a dragon fly...how can something that looks so fragile fly so fast?
Cool! (Who thinks up these names?)
Very cool dragonfly! I love the arrows on it.
