Dragonfly Friend

July 9, 2022 11 Comments

I had a surprise recently when a green regal darner dragonfly landed on my hand while I was walking in our Florida yard.  What a beauty!  It stayed there while I admired its colors and how the wings were golden in the sunlight.  The dragonfly was so happy on my hand that I needed to gently coach it onto a plant before I headed inside.  What a special nature moment!

    Pam, that is a spectacular dragonfly – even larger than I’d remember. But as my sister in Clearwater reminds me, “We grow ’em bigger in Florida!” 🙂 ~Terri
