Dragonfly Revisited – 33/52, BlackBerry 52 — Week 33 Jump-Off, Golden Valley, Minnesota, August 10th 2011, photo © 2011 by QuoinMonkey. All rights reserved. Medium: Original Droid snapshot of a dragonfly on our front window at the end of Summer, August 2011. Altered in Photoshop Elements.
A month ago Thursday, a road trip West, dragonflies swelled the North Dakota skies. Hundreds of dragonflies, one place. Everywhere—
we stopped; winged clouds of a prehistoric past.
Another Full Moon, a long day at work. Head bowed, walking toward the door. There, in the wind, completely still. Dragonfly, tucked under the lip of the window eave. Inside, outside, everyside. Luck follows Dragonfly. Dragonfly follows the dreamtime.
In time, I dream.

As always, I love anything you do with dragonflies. This one is gorgeous. I can’t image seeing 100 of them, that must have been incredible to see.

Teresa, I was just thinking about you today when I was driving around! So happy to her from you. And thank you for your comment. The dragonflies in North Dakota were like nothing else I had ever seen. Huge clouds of them flying above us. I loved it. I wanted to look online somewhere and see if it’s been a good year for the dragons. The one I posted in this piece was like none other I have seen in our yard before. I usually see the tiger marked ones. This one was very green with something like a third eye on top of its head. Hope things are well out West. We had a perfect day weather-wise today. The end of Summer is always so beautiful here. Summer into Fall.
