Dragonflies...

I always thought dragonflies were some mystical, magical, fairy-like insect.  I don't remember them being around in Portland when I was growing up, except maybe at the Double D down by the creek.  Sure, I've seen 'em around, mostly around creeks, maybe? We have one in our yard that likes to buzz around the garden in the middle of our drive.  I think it odd, maybe even a little out of place, as I know so very little about dragonflies. Today, the illusions are all gone.  There were a horde of them buzzing around the dumpsters.  Bizarre!!
