Held my breath for the longest time, watching, waiting for it to land.
I'm absolutely stunned I got this shot. This must be what magic feels like.

1. Close-up of a dragonfly resting on a rebar garden post. The view is from behind and the outstretched wings are on full display. Google identifies it as a Widow Skimmer. I've no idea if that's correct. For further detail: the dragonfly has a yellow and dark brown body. The eyes are a rusty red color. The wings have dark patches close to the body, then turn clear, and are tipped with the same dark smudge at the very edge. There were flashes of shimmering copper across the the wings as they caught the sunlight.
