And Now for Something Completely Different

Chango brought me a tennis ball, and when I went out on the deck I saw this handsome fellow.



He was sitting on the top of a plant hanger ...
Dragonfly 1

... and he pretty much ignored me as I tried to get as close as possible.
Dragonfly 2

And closer ...
Dragonfly 3

View from the back, sunlight on his wings.

And one last view, a better shot of the tracery on the wings.
Dragonfly 5

So. It was about 3 - 4 inches long, and it would turn its head occasionally to watch me. I put my hand out to see if it would land there, but all that happened was Chango coming over to see if I had a treat for her. LOL.

I'd never seen one that was black and yellow like this -- so striking!

I never heard anyone call them snake doctors until I was grown -- a guy that I used to work with who was very "country" would call them that sometimes, but I never heard it as a kid.
