Artwork Description:

June 19,2012 ... after walk/photo shoot in park.. usually check on the swimming pool at my longtime/best friend Pauline and Jacks' residence.. always 'find' 'new'.. .. this Dragon Fly.. gorgeous in color.. 'teased' my eye and attention since several days now.. tried to capture.. and would not work.. under my nose , really.. almost could touch.. flew by in her wide sweeping graceful.. dancing like in air manner.. too fast for me to focus.. Must mention..'gave up, on capturing her'.. and concentrated on images floating on pool waters brilliant in light surface .. Well.. yesterday..'she' flew by my 'nose' again.. and I was sooo tempted.. but then.. knew 'better'.. told her pout loud..'am not going to fall for your tease today'.. She made a wiiide sweep... by my face.. and settled.. iridescent wings trembling.. transparencies in reds.. even purples.. and gold.. orange.. and as if she 'whispered'.. to come close.. and I .. did.. Reluctant first.. expecting her to take off in gracious loops.... step by step... avoiding direction of breeze.. so she would not 'sense'.. and not to throw shadows on her either.. she stayed still.. the closer I got.. clicking along and trying in excitement not to move camera while clicking.. and came about 10 inches close... She moved her head.. all along.. and watched.. with those huge appearing eyes... every move I had made.. she knew... took pix for about half an hr.. thanked her.. and slowly walked .. towArds 'my' pool images.. she stayed.. until I left.. ** size for uploading purpose only.
