Dragonfly Afternoon~ beginning of a record breaking series of fingertip ...

A wonderful June afternoon for lazing away in the pool. After the 45 th landing my dh went in to get our Flip Cam to capture what was to become a fantastic series of fingertip landings. We got to 101 in just a little over an hour. We even had them landing on the camera, and his fingertip as well. I uploaded 4 videos at You Tube that show us on the way to 101!   A friend asked me just yesterday if I was trying to say this is mystical.  The "magic" we have in our lives are mostly explainable in simpler ways. We are a part of these dragonflies environment, and we never try to capture them. So we don't pose a threat. Still looking directly at them is likely to cause them to liftoff.  Do you consider it mystical? After 101 landings in one afternoon, I'll just say whatever it is~ I feel blessed by this miracle.

What kind of pool is that? I love the rocks, we have a big ugly above ground, but it holds water, lol. When we kayak, dragonflies like to land on the bow and take a ride.

The pool is an in ground pool with moss rock waterfall. Plenty big enough for family use. Although it takes 12 trips(one way) to equal one lap in an olympic pool - so not all that large.

It was definitely part of what helped us to fall in love at first sight with the house when we were looking for a new home. :) Kayaking dragonflies, are a great mental pic!
