This week has been beautiful in Wisconsin and according to our local weather forecast our streak of weather-luck will continue for a few days. In the 80's and not too humid. Nice breezes. So it's good time to be outside.
Taking Fenway for his walks yesterday and today I noticed that we are being "bombarded" by small flying objects. No….not drones. Huge dragonflies! They are zipping and dipping and dodging every which way. Lots of them congregated along the waterfront. And when we sit up on our little third floor deck and they zoom past at eye level.
They are really big…..bodies at least three inches in length and pairs of large beautiful wings. Some have a shiny metallic blue color. Others move so quickly I don't have a chance to see details.
I wish I could capture one in a photograph…. however, considering my level of photographic skills that won't be happening. But what fun to watch. I don't know if they are feeding, looking for a mate, or just enjoying our good stretch of weather.
I hope they stay around for a few days. If not…..I'll just look forward to next summer for the annual invastion of the monster dragonflies.
Hmmmmm…..possible title for a horror movie.
