Yesterday, while working in the yard, there were hundreds of dragonflies swooping about doing their thing...presumably, hopefully, it is eating mosquitoes. I noticed one golden one perched on a rose hip. He stayed there for quite a while. I took a couple of photos of him with my phone. He then seemed to say, "Go get your good camera. I want a photo shoot." So, I walked into the house, retrieved my camera and began taking photos for about 15 minutes. Sometimes, he flitted onto another flower, seeming to say, "Hey, look at this side; Get a top view! Look, I'm smiling!" It was a fun photo shoot for a cute little guy, probably dead by now.
