Dragon Hunting
Down by the green and weed-choked lake, among pungent soil and undergrowth, rotting wood, irises and lilies, is the breathtaking kingdom of dragonflies with their large, iridescent eyes and delicate, dazzling, vivid wings, It must be the sunniest part of the day: they need the sun for energy to zip and dart in jerky flight, […]
