Probably the last dragonfly sighting of the year. This type is known to fly until late October. I'm not 100% certain on this identification as my field guide says this kind of dragonfly has become scarce. Pollution is given as a possible reason for the scarcity. I got lucky as this guy landed on the back of a seat of a row boat a little after I had pulled the boat onto the shore. He nicely stayed right there while I walked back into the house to get my camera and came back. Perhaps he was just looking for a photo-op since he stayed on that seat back as I took numerous pictures from different angles trying to get a good view and in focus with my basic digital camera. A short few seconds after I decided I was done, he flew off. I'm glad he stopped by and introduced himself.
