Dragonfly Wings
“In hot summer afternoons, dragonflies dance in the warm air. Their acrobatic flight defies gravity. Mastering the power of obstacle avoidance, these active creatures like to rest atop flower stems. Yet, this dragonfly decided to rest on the ground.
“Seemingly indifferent to my proximity, it remained motionless basking in the sun. I approached carefully to appreciate this beautiful individual. The delicate wing pattern is a masterful piece of art.
“The turquoise and green colours of the dragonfly body gleam like jewels.”

Simply incredible exhibt of how fragile nature really is. Yet long-term (hopefully) as how long did it take to erode all that sand from bedrock stone. It is not scientific; but I think Nature is colorful to attract the attention of would-be Care-takers.
