Waves of dragonflies
Crashing to the hardened ground
Brief life is fleeting
Waves of brilliant leaves
Falling in the chilly air
Thick sap retreating
Waves of golden light
Sparkle on the drying pond
Bright light receding

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

Thank you. A few weeks ago the garage was full of dead dragonflies just like this one. I pick the one with the least decay as my subject. I wasn’t sure what I would do with it but it was too cool not to photograph.

Love the haiku. And your comment, not sure what you’ll do with it but too cool not to photograph. Sometimes those make the best photos.
