Yesterday I was lamenting the fact that this summer I have no plants in my pond. As a result, the dragonfly sighting have been few and far between.
Here is a past post from this day July 30th several years back. I used to spend hours trying to take a picture of the blue dasher that would skim the top of the fountain spray from the pond. I was amazed that I actually captured a picture of this action. The pictures in this post were taken long ago. I have better pictures of stationary dragonflies, however, this one of him skimming the top of the fountain is my favorite. I still like the poem I wrote about our daily interactions during this period of time.
