Two major things contributed to this post: First, being friends with someone who knows a lot about dragonflies has made me notice them more, and second, my dad is ridiculously hard to find gifts for. So part of his Fathers’ Day present this year was an afternoon of walking in the woods. (Not hiking, really, but two pleasant walks.) (Okay, okay, that isn’t gift-y, ’cause I don’t take much persuasion to go out in the woods, but the more-than-cursory gardening help was.)
So! First, the giant dragonfly I saw in the iris garden in Florence:
And a frog in Colchester Bog:
And a variety of insects in East Woods:

Dragon flies are cool, aren’t they? Looks like a lovely walk. :)
