Great to see a dragonfly, haven't seen one myself for half a year now
A nice capture of a male Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis), the only species in that genus.
It's a young male, and the eyes will turn green later, while the abdomen will become all blue on top, with a black tip.
The vein arrangement in the wings are quite unusual, because there is only one crossvein under the pterostigma (wing marking), resulting in a very long and slender "wing-cell" at this location close to the wing tip.
