Walking to lunch I paused for at least 10 minutes at the Soldiers & Sailors lawn to watch 3 dragonflies hanging out there. They never slowed down or came low enough for me to see them closely. One did have a body that seemed twice as wide as the other two, almost like it had a tiny jet engine plugged up under each wing on either side of it’s body. Wish I’d been able to get a closer look to see what shape it actually was.

I doubt I’d have ever stopped to check them out with out all the interesting dragonfly posts this summer. Thanks!

I can’t ever remember seeing one but I will have to keep an eye out for it.
