Ok so, if in my next life I had to live as an insect, (there's no hesitation) I would choose to be a dragon fly. I absolutely think they're beautiful. This lovely one flew into our back yard the other day and I had to run for my camera. It wasn't until I got up close that I realized he was missing one of his four wings. I sat and watched him nibble on my Red Yucca for about ten minutes, hearing every bite he took into the blossom. When he finally took off, it seemed effortless for him, even though he was handicaped.
Nature amazes me and I love having time to just sit back and watch. My Chaste Tree's are swarming with bumble bees this time of year. The blossoms are a brilliant purpleish blue which makes them very attractive to bees and wasps. Lucky for us I planted one right by our front door... hmm...

Great Pic! That dragonfly looks awesome, I can never get them to stay still enough to get a cool photo like that.
Before you become a dragonfly, I suggest you become a photographer !!! You do a great job. May I ask what kind of camera you use? I think perhaps I need to tale some time to sit back and enjoy what is living right outside our windows. I rarely do that. Thanks you for the reminder of how blessed we are to have such an amazing world. I hope all is well !!!
