Fairy silhouettes
Skimming through the wildflowers
Against summer skies
A momentary magic
Gifting the eyes of a child
I have never seen as many dragonflies as I have this summer. From tiny turquoise damsels that cast a jewelled haze above the water, to stately beauties with stained-glass wings, they are everywhere. Each one, a gift…fairytale creatures whose wings sparkle with the rainbows of a thousand captured suns. They delight me.

Lovely. I do like dragonflies. I write this after a walk in Glentrool Forest – a very wet walk at the start.
Walk in Glentrool Forest
Squelching a wet woodland trail
a thousand tiny frogs
underfoot.
Clouds part, sun appears
dragonflies on bog myrtle
dry their wings.

How lovely, Mary… though I hate walking through places full of small frogs… just in case…

These fellows were so big, I doubt if you’d miss them… or maybe you are seeing fairies 🙂 That top one made me look twice 🙂

Dragonflies are beautiful and seem magical. How can such a creature hover close enough to be touched? Nature is cyclical; some years the dragonflies are profuse, others not so much. The same holds true for most plants and animals, at least in my big backyard. This year we have majestic red tailed hawks and golden eagles. A few years ago it was dragonflies. I love Mother Nature. Each year brings something new and wonderful. Your dragonflies are beautiful!

I agree, Jennie. Every season brings its own gifts. We are at the start of autumn here and clear summer dawns have been replaced by soft golden mists.

Ooh, I love seeing them too, Sue! I did a blog on Flowers and Dragonflies and featured a photo of one that landed on my fingers. I read that they can give you a nasty bite if they are threatened. Luckily for me I spoke to it softly saying how beautiful it was! LOL! 😘

Most creatures seem to respond when they know you won’t harm them, don’t they? What a beautiful encounter though! Bees and btterflies land on me a lot…but never a dragonfly!

I called to it and it came and landed on my fingertips and stayed there long enough to take some pictures. Check it out on my blog. 😘
