We've driven by the Aransas Pass Wildlife Refuge probably 20 times and we finally stopped in on Monday.  A mid afternoon in June is not a good time to see animals in Texas, but we saw a few smaller ones.

The dragonfly is always a challenge.  I think frogs are more prone to sit perfectly still, pointing the wrong direction, longer even than turtles.

Good captures, good light

Yup, the frog did not move at all while we were there.  I thought for a while it might have been fake and planted there as a joke by one of the staff members.  But with alligators swimming around (didn't see any though) it would pay to stay as still as you can if you're a frog. 

And you're right about the dragonfly.  That was one of about 30 shots I took of the same bug trying to get it to look right.

Ryan, good effort.
Your position of view could be better, it's a matter of moving slowly.
As for dragonflies, when they are in a sitting mood, when you move, they spook, but, they come back to their resting point.
Get closer.
