For the Sunday Stills Challenge: Wings
I’ve taken to taking my camera with me into the pool during dragonfly season. I love watching these beautiful creatures and sometimes leave ugly bare branches poking out from above my planters just to attract them.

It’s the season for the huge red dragonflies. They’re out swooping over my pool. I should go join them, but I’m sure the water it is too hot since it is still coming in from the mineral hot spring that feeds the pool.

Now a flotilla of white butterflies are swooping around between the dragonflies. Like a busy freeway out there. Lots of cloverleafs. I’d like to get a photo of the dragonflies, but they zoom over and just alight for a second––not long enough to shoot. After ten unproductive minutes, I just focused on a palm frond hanging out over the water, hoping one would light there. Wonder of wonders, one did, but just as I snapped it, Morrie ran up with his ball and scared it away! Morrie!!!
I’m going in to download the SD card to my computer and see if I got anything.
Lo and behold, I did!
and there were none!
