my first dragonfly...

...right? it is a dragonfly, isn't it?

i was watching the great blue out on my little lake... preening and ignoring me - when i saw a flicker of movement... glanced down and saw this tiny gem... she graced me with several long moments of glorious snapping before flitting away over the water - leaving me breathless with wonder... i didn't think i'd ever be able to get a dragonfly - they are so quick - not willing to accommodate me... but this one - she was a treat for me today and so being captivated it made me curious about the whole meaning of dragonflies... here's some food for thought on representation:

a

happy day.....
