My husband managed to get this wonderful shot of me whispering to a dragonfly in the containment pond that is close to our house. My fear of moths does not extend to dragonflies which is lucky as they seem to like me. Dragonflies are fast little predators so they have little to fear but birds on the wing. It was as hot as Hades today – the pond and its wild surrounds were alive with all types of Dragonflies. Golden, red, amber, periwinkle, green striped, black, indigo, all flitting about looking for insects. In my imagination they are little fairies. They fly really close to humans because we attract mosquitoes and probably are drawn to our sweat. It was a beautiful moment on a perfect day.

He was telling me about how much fun they were going to have later, courting the females and making lots of babies. Some of the others were ‘getting it on’ right in front of us – shameless and on the Sabbath, too. 🙂

Great shot, though personally bugs and me don’t get on well.

Don’t visit south Texas…I found a 4 inch tree-roach under my pillow when I made the bed. 🙂
