Dragonfly Summer



It seems this was a summer to notice dragonflys.


And there were two images that really highlighted our photographic efforts against these ubiquitous creatures this summer.


One in Cocoa Beach while we were waiting for the Space Shuttle Endeavour to launch on July 15th. We were standing on the side of the causeway with some thousand of our newest friends waiting for the launch and Chris noticed this dragonfly striking a pose.


The other while we were doing a nature walk on Merritt's Island--just north of Cocoa Beach about two weeks later.
I can still smell the damp, musty odors of the trail and leaves on the nature walk as I look at this picture.


It was hot!


But our friend dragonfly was trying his best to keep the pesky mosquitoes away.


I must give credit where it is due--Chris took both of these awesome pictures!
But I still hold fond memories in my mind of both of these experiences.
