Description

I was making my way down the path outside my hotel room to the beach. As soon as I turned the corner into this open grassy area I noticed a lot of things flying around but couldn't quite make them out. I kept walking a bit but there were so many flying things passing me I stopped to get a closer look and realized they were dragon flies. I stopped in front of this patch of foliage some dead some not and this little dragon fly landed right on top of this dead foilage as if to say TA DA...HERE I AM!! I desperately tried to get my camera to focus but it just wasn't having it. I then said out loud to the dragon fly, buddy I can't get you. This little dragon fly, flew up, around in a circle and landed in the same spot but this time the sun caught its wings just right and my camera took four perfect shots of this special little dragon fly! When I reached the beach and sat down in the sand to get some wave shots I could not believe what I had seen. Tons of dragon flies flying over me...they just kept coming! I had never seen that many dragon flies in my life! It was a very magical moment for me especially after losing everything in the wild fires just a few weeks prior to this experience.
