Damsel Fly

http://www.theworldinlight.com/

My granddaughter recently asked me if fairies were real?  Walking through a marshy area yesterday, I was surrounded by beautifully colored damsel flies:  I felt like I was in another world - fairyland perhaps?  It wouldn't take too much imagination to believe these darting slender blue flies were fairies... hundreds of damsels in distress.

This damsel certainly did not look like she was in distress ... well ... maybe.  Perhaps she thought I was the villain or monster?  She did flit away quickly ... no hero to her rescue that I observed.  She saved herself.
