I was walking up to our chicken coop and found this dragonfly resting on the ground.  I had never seen one so close up.  This is a lesson to me about paying attention to small things rather than looking at and for big things.

Dragonflies are really interesting.  They zoom over our meadows and ponds during the early twilight.

Dragonflies date back 325 million years.  The are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness in Japan.

Who would have ever known?  And what woulds have happened if I hadn’t paid attention?
