We had a visitor in our backyard Friday Morning... largest Dragonfly I've ever seen. I was amazed...

I needed to be document it, here is the result.

Music: "Wish I Would See You Again"

    Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen one that big...and thanks for the nice words on my backyard...so much time and money gets dumped into that. I'm trying to make it my mini-hawaii. :-)

    Yeah, I really like things like this...even though it just a bug...they're just so unusual, they need to be documented

    That is beautiful! Eric sir you are a visual poet! Freaking genius you are!
  • eric cwiertny 2 years ago
    Georgie...thanks but I don't deserve any such praise as long as Remyyy and C McC are at it on a daily basis. As a matter of fact I always think everybody's videos are sooo much better than what I choose to post.

    My goal is to try to always do better but my results always vary...

    A much smaller dragonfly perched on my daughter's hand during our campout this weekend. It flew away before I got a clip.
  • eric cwiertny 2 years ago
    There's just something about dragonflies that is so cool.

    that was beautiful ! Also, I didn't know their name in english, and I love it...
  • eric cwiertny 2 years ago
    Thanks, Capucha..by the way, what is the word for them in French?
  • Capucha plus 2 years ago
    "Libellule" :) (lee-bay-lul ) (well, almost, I'm not good at writing in phonetics :D)
    I bet this one is not very easy for you to pronounce ;-)
  • eric cwiertny 2 years ago
    That is hard... does it mean or translate anything close to "Dragonfly"?
  • Capucha plus 2 years ago
    Absolutely not ! Actually, it doesn't mean anything else than its name...The sound of it in french is quite aerial, and evokes fragility. It's musical too. Makes me think of a xylophone. It could be like the word "Lullaby" in english too, soundly speaking. Very opposite of the word DragonFly, actually !
  • eric cwiertny 2 years ago
    Thanks Capucha...that is what I love about this site. I'm learning all kinds of new things everyday!

    wow...ain't nature grand? best things in life absolutely are the free ones... :-) btw....someone left their living room in your garden... and their jungle as well... not like that round here..
  • eric cwiertny 2 years ago
    It was so cool to see it in our backyard especially after we've worked hard to make it look like our own little "Hawaii"...the dragonfly just seemed to be a finishing touch!
