1090. Catching Rays

An outcrop,
just a rock...suddenly
a dragonfly.

Link with 1089: Dragonfly.

[At a Japanese Garden:
We turn a corner in a side-path and come upon an outcrop in the side of a grassy knoll. Just as I begin to admire the rock formation and to appreciate how it has been naturally placed, a dragonfly suddenly appears. It is as if it wished to be framed in this natural setting, just for my benefit. Of course, it was likely just catching a few rays of sunshine.]
