Better Days

I walked around the ponds of Golden Gardens Park carrying my Big Girl Camera with the telephoto lens attached. Alas, it was the wrong time of day to catch the blue herons sunning themselves on the logs. Birdsong was all around me, but the birds were too small and too fast for my camera to capture. (I'm so out of practice!)

But this red dragonfly alighted on a bush not too far from the path and let me take several photos.


It wasn't until I was editing the photos that I saw that he's seen better days. The rear left wing and the front right wing are quite tattered, poor thing.


Yet his color remains spectacular!
