damsels and dragons

After years of seeing beautiful bird photos taken by friends at the the Gilbert Riparian Preserve and saying to myself “I must go one of these days!”, it took curiosity about Dragonflies to finally get me there. I was very surprised at how beautiful the Preserve was and now I’m eager to go back despite the long drive. This particular trip was prompted by a walk advertised by the Maricopa Audubon Society featuring an introduction to Dragonflies. Thanks to leader Bob Witzeman, I now know the difference between a Damselfly and a Dragonfly 🙂

As with much of nature, Disney comes to mind :-)

I would not have noticed the tiny Damselflies if I were by myself
