Beautiful pictures, the wings have perfect cellophane looks. And the second picture looks just like a helicopter about to take off. The lines “sways in soft breeze about to take off” have such a beautiful feel to it – almost like feeling the breeze 💖
Dragonflies are ethereal to me. 🙂 Beautiful, delicate, light…yet they fly powerfully like a helicopter!
Your brilliant haiku captures the dragonfly perfectly, Dwight! Great photos, too!
HUGS!!! 🙂
Dragonflies are wonderful to see in action.
They zip around so effortlessly. Perhaps if I was a light as they are I could too! LOL
Thank you so much! Your kiind affirmations are always an inspiration to me.
Dwight, I love watching dragonflies. I used to see blue dragonflies like the one in your photo when tubing in the Shenandoah River in Virginia. The ones we see here in Florida are much larger, but not as colorful. They fly in large “squadrons” in our neighborhood. I love your photo and poem. ❤ So beautiful! Take care, Cheryl
Thank you Cheryl. We also have some that look more square and have black tips on the end of their wings. I love the blue one. I had one here that had big blue eyes and body! Thank you for your comment.
Dragonflies always have fascinated me.

Thanks Lisa. This is when it helps to be able to have a long lens and then be able to crop it down!

This one is so Luminescent. I’ve been finding lots of dead ones in my pool 😥

It is very sheer! Not sure why they would die in your pool!

Yes, me either.. maybe they see their reflection and think it’s another dragon fly…. I’ll ask my pool guy if he has any insights.
