MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1

Once again I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. This fantastic dragon fly flew into the Davids' house on Montclair Street. It was beating itself up trying to get out a window that couldn't be opened. I managed to catch it and take outside without doing further damage to it. The brilliant red color is the actual color of the insect. I didn't alter it at all.

After I put it on the banana leaf in the back yard, it took a couple of minutes to get its bearing before it flew away over the backyard trees. I would have been very disappointed if it had flown away before I got the picture.
