I spent a most enjoyable day with Peter today in my yard, he lounging and watching the races, and I working on some new leaf pieces. I kept hearing something hit the screen house and every time I'd look up nothing would be there so I'd go back to work again. This went on for quite some time and finally I looked up to see a huge dragonfly buzzing around my screen house. I went out to investigate and the dragonfly began to do it's strange flight around me, diving and flitting about my head, flying high into the sky then coming back again. This went on for almost an hour, I'd never seen behavior like this before and it really made me wonder why? When I went back inside the screen house, the dragonfly flew against the screen house a few more times before eventually giving up. I guess it realized I did not want to come out to play anymore.
I wonder if it will visit tomorrow?
This is a dragonfly pin I have for sale in my Etsy shop!

The dragonfly tells us we have the power of reflecting the light of Divinity. Contact with one indicates a surprising event to come or good changes. It also bids us to understand that Reality can be an illusion. It tries to awaken vision in us & tell us to accept responsibility for our actions and not to blame others for outcomes. It tells us to understand our dreams & celebrate the Spirit in all living things. Perhaps he was lauding you for doing that--making the patterns of the simple leaves into a work of art. |

Your dragonfly reminded me of a tune I wrote and recorded several years ago: |
When I walk my path along the creek in the late afternoons I see the air filled with floating fluff and seeds, tiny winged insects, and squadrons of damselflies with some dragonflies. I feel like some moving rock in flowing water as the little critters flit at and then around me, or take-off as I approach to alight behind me on the rocks and grasses. They're so thick sometimes! It almost disorients you, your eyes caught in this flow about you. And the big benefit: (^: No mosquitoes!!! :^)
TommyAmazing how easy it is to imagine those peripheral sightings as flashes of faery wing...
