Like this dragonfly who seemed most content fer me to take loads 'f pics from e'ery angle possible. Yepperz, I've 'bout 75 from the whole photo session that I kept. Each showin' diff'rent bits 'f beauty I'd most likely not've paid much mind to otherwise.
The intricate skeleton that graces this lovely creature. Hints 'f fine gold that 'dorned 'ts delicate lookin' wings.
If'n yer 'nterested'n learnin' more 'bout the symbolism 'f these wondrous critters, ya can visit the website 'low. 'xplains why i've seen so many varieties this year, 'xcept the lovely red. Now I've the answers I seek...'r do I?

yes ma'am, do that with most all critters i find. not all turn out more'n blurs, lol. shaky hands 'n all that jazz. did'ja? my 'pologies fer missin' such. reckon i ought'a go hunt that down. i fear i've not made much progress catchin' 'p with folks.
most oft they'll not sit still, seem most 'nnoyed 't the 'ntrusion. don't blame 'em, i dislike my pic taken, too. 'twas certainly a beauty.

@crazyhorseladycx I lost a lot of them too. Don't worry about it. We can only do what we can do and that is only so much depending on free time. I think they should let them stick for longer than 7 days.

@Lavanya15 yes, like tiny stained glass window panels. makes ya wonder if'n the ancients who started makin' those got the idea from dragonflies.

@crazyhorseladycx I feel the same way. When I got my necklace, I tried to decide between the dragonfly and butterfly. The butterfly was gorgeous, but I couldn't associate it with my brother. With the dragonfly, I could. I hope to find a hummingbird one day, but I don't know if I could put him in it. I don't know if I could see him the way he is now. But I may look for the necklace anyway.

@simone10 they've got lots 'f those hummers fer such 'nline. i'm thinkin' 'tis a personal preference, but feel'n my heart that the dragonfly 'tis most suitable jest from what'cha've shared 'bout mr. chuck. such a sweet, kind soul.

! The wings do look delicate, I'm just wondering if they are tougher than they seem! I think I've seen more of the orangey ones recently!

I love seeing the bright blue ones but haven't for some time now. Here we see them mostly around water, but there's no water near my home.
