The Happy Hungry Dragonfly

[Solly Mack]

On a hot sunny day in June a dragonfly was making the rounds around the neighborhood. Flittering hither and yon, dodging the Barn Swallows while on the lookout for tasty mosquitoes. Spotting a watering hole in Solly's yard, the dragonfly perched atop a garden pole, put on his best smile, filled with the hope of attracting other bugs for the purpose of consuming them.

11. I had no idea these guys look so smiley happy!

Thanks to your fabulous closeups I now know and smile with them. The second and the last are my favorites but the next to the last makes the smile contagious.

13. Hey. Hope your days are filled with rest and relaxation.

They probably are thinking dirty thoughts the reason they smile so much.
