The Dragonfly

I was so excited about this picture, but now, I see that the light was not right. All in all, though, it's so amazing just to be able to stand next to a creature like this and take its picture. I just stood there mesmerized by how still it was for a very long time. Almost as if it was attached to the petal of the rose. Not afraid, nowhere to go, no reason to move....just sitting there being a dragonfly. I am not much of a photographer and maybe only a bit more of a writer, but both of them teach me more about being me. So, one of God's creatures lent me just a bit more insight on what it could mean to be human. Thanks, Mr. Dragonfly (or is that Ms.?)
