Rest on this hand of mine.
Let me take a close shot of you
And fly, fly away, as you will.
The 1st day of the New Year unveils one of the most profound mysteries as well as the beauty of the insect world. I am thrilled that I was able to fulfill the hope of one of my friends when he requested me to take a photograph of a Red Dragonfly for his project. I tried for about a year, though I must confess that I had not deliberately ventured into the woods to look for it. Incidentally, I noticed this gorgeous Red Dragonfly hovering at my car porch area yesterday. Armed with a camera, I approached it cautiously being conscious of the rare probability of obtaining a good shot. I took some. They are just OK shots. But early this morning, I saw my "friend" again. I moved closer towards it and offered my hand for it to rest on it. I captured that moment without having to capture the insect (into captivity). Bravo! That "connecting" moment was simply amazing!
As we begin this year, many will take the opportunity to make new resolutions. What are yours? One of mine is to capture/treasure special moments with people with the understanding that true relationship sets us free to enjoy the presence of others as well as allow them to take flight, anytime too. What are your thoughts?
