I misread the title and thought it said dragons. I was a little bummed out when I realized you meant dragonflies. Oh well. Sorry bout the snakes, hope the doggies are OK.

We got dragon flys here in the North Carolina mountains. Here is one that got a little close to my studio.

Shame on you.

All kidding aside, I like dragonflys too. The dragonfly pictured is part of a series of six large outdoor wall sculptures that I made a couple of years ago. I like the metalic wing and body colors. I really like it when the dragonflys lite on my kayak when I'm paddling. The nymph stage before they emerge is interesting because the dragonfly nymphs will eat anything they can catch including small fish. I've tied and fished imations of both the nymph and the adult. We have two hummingbird feeders out right now and one pair of the little birds is nesting behind my studio in the rhododrens.
