Red Dragonfly

This morning a red dragonfly landed in my back yard. I talked it into waiting around until I could get my camera. It was a surprisingly skilled model, occasionally changing position so I could get different angles. It even smiled for the camera, which I thought was odd. I didn’t know dragonflies could smile. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, since I’ve recently learned that snails can frown and spiders have toes.
