Dragonflies
Jul. 10th, 2002 03:12 pmThere seems to be a colony of dragonflies living in the trees outside my office... I've seen upwards of half a dozen of them swooping around today, and there have been lots of them during the past weeks as well.
They fascinate me, with the gossamer double sets of wings, and brilliant body color. The ones flying around are far enough away that it is hard to see just what color(s) they are, but I have the impression that at least one of them is red.
Their flight is smooth, hang-gliding in the wind, sometimes almost hovering. Just amazing, the glories of creation.
I wonder if anyone uses dragonflies as a symbol of (something)?
