Featured Images: I am thrilled to say that the attached photos are mine, and they are my first-ever successful photographs of Dragonflies …




Dragonfly, Nature’s Guardian Eye
Long before homo sapiens overachievers
You were the swamp’s incorruptible believer
Overseer of the planet’s rivers and valleys
The weary world’s ardent ally
Long before the floundering Ark
You were our wisest Monarch
Overseer of the forest’s unpolluted sky
Nature’s sprightly guardian eye

An eloquent poem and gorgeous photos, Ivor! ❤ Dragonflies are fascinating creatures. I love them even more because they devour mosquitos! 🙂 Have a great week, Ivor! Frankie too!

Absolutely grand and wonderful, Ivor! Your photos! 🙂 It must be so difficult to capture them in flight! I love watching dragonflies! Their glossy iridescent…delicate, yet strong…wings fascinate me! 🙂
Great poem to honor them!
Great song!
(((HUGS))) ❤️ 🙂
PS… “May you touch dragonflies and stars, dance with the fairies, and talk to the moon.”
