Last weekend Daisy had been playing in the backyard when she suddenly came running in the house in a frenzy. There was a dragonfly in the raspberry bush - a big, huge, scary one! I did that "Oh, hush, child!" thing that mothers sometimes do, but Daisy wouldn't relent. She needed me to come in the backyard to see the big, huge, scary dragonfly and save her life and stuff.
So I went out there, and to my surprise, there was a dragonfly on the raspberry bush, and it really was huge.
It was almost 6" long. I'm pretty sure it flew here from the Amazon or something.
I ran in the house and got the camera, not expecting the dragonfly to be there when I got back, but it was.
Then a few hours later it was
still there, completely unmoving.
And a few hours after that? Yep. Still there.
I thought maybe it was hibernating or had been cryogenically frozen or something. But my
30 seconds of extensive google research showed that adult dragonflies don't hibernate, so uhh... I guess I've found a new hobby of photographing dead things.
Yikes! That is gigantic! The last time I took the color code test was in high school. I have purposefully avoided it ever since, because apparently I was having a great day because I scored completely even between all four colors. So I decided to never take it again because I'm sure I would never get that same result :)
