Dragonfly on a rock - absorbed in a daydream



All myths of creation originate from this season.  Days are longer, and in the daytime,
winds sweep the clouds away, heralding change and renewal.
Snow and ice melt from the top of the mountains, and rivers come tumbling down in 
joyful song.
The wood pushes through the soil and lovers renew their commitment to passion and 
tenderness, for spring, as love, is a "deeper season than reason."
The fish struggle upstream and everything sparkles like jewels in the   new light....

    Wow! Fabulous images!!!!! I wonder how could you capture a dragonfly in his daydream moments????? Mystery, a complete mystery for me.....

    I love everything in these images. Colors, the idea and composition. And of course, I fell in love with two beautiful dragonflies. They are so graceful in their beauty. Yes, it's everything about change and renewal in the spring.

    I love what you wrote about passion, tenderness and love. Sometimes when things don't go the way I want them to go I say to myself that every day is a new life. I say it perhaps more in spring than other seasons because of great awakening in nature....

    Fantastic photography!!!!!! Highly creative imagination!!!!

    Dear Monika, I send to you many hugs and warm spring wishes!!!!!!!

    Libellen sind so wunderschön.
    Fantastische Bilder. Ich glaube mit der Osterdeko werde ich mich etwas zurückhalten. Ist nicht so mein Ding. Auch wenn ich die "Wohnliese" bin.
    LG Sabine

    Good evening.
    It took me some time to pay back the visit you made to my blog but its never too late.
    Now that I am here i must also leave some comments on your work, photographs and thoughts. First of all.. I have just one question for this post:
    How on earth do you know the dragonfly is daydreaming? Can you explain that to me..? I d love to know what they think about.
    Your photographs are amazing though.
    I like them..
    I also had a quick tour of your blog, and I admired your photographs. I really love the seagull series. I am writing all comments here "en masse" as i am too lazy to comment on every post of yours.
    ..And since you are a great admirer of Elton John I have a surprise for you..
    Check this post of mine:
    http://naturedigital.blogspot.com/2011/02/beverly-hills-caiv-iv.html
    The sixth photograph shows a tall white building with very expensive apartments.
    Sir Elton John is living there.
    And i was staying at my friends house some 100 meters from it.
    Have a great evening.

    Costas.
    Right maybe a dragonfly cannot daydream.
    It is all a kind of metaphor.
    But does this title not make the insect more
    beautiful and interesting?
    You made me laugh with your comment!!
    Nice.
    Wish you a nice evening as well.

    liebe Monika,
    schön deine Fotos, ein kleines darüber Nachdenken, wie still und bescheiden uns diese kleine Tierwelt umgibt, manchmal kaum wahrnehmbar,
    ein schönes Beispiel doch für die vielen lauten Menschen, die es nicht einmal merken, sich in die ersten Reihen drängen.

    liebe Grüße, einen schönen Sonntag wünscht Jasmin

    It's not often that anyone has the opportunity to see dragonflies at this close range. Fascinating detail.

    To πιο αρχαίο έντομο στον κόσμο (έχει βρεθεί σε απολίθωμα τουλάχιστον 3500 ετών) καθώς και σε τοιχογραφίες ....
    Φοράω στον λαιμό μου μία λιβελούλα, σχεδόν παντα.....λατρεύω και τον παραξενο βίο της...
    Πανέμορφες φωτος...Μπράβο!
