You have seen your beauty.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your golden wings. You are in truth:
The soul ~ Of the soul ~ Of the soul. ~Ally: Slight adaptation of Rumi.
The Golden Dragonfly ~ A new beginning.
The Golden Dragonfly appeared, physically at a very significant time for me: A year of very new beginnings.
My camera?
My first digital camera: An inexpensive Traveler DC 140: Without a zoom or macro lens and virtually no depth of field.
The only way to capture the 'Golden Dragonflies' was to BE: BE with my breath, BE with the sensation of mud squelching through my toes, BE with the stillness and gentle breezes of dawn, BE with the morning light, BE with the chill and warmth in the air, BE with the sound of rippling water and the songs of birds.
Accordingly, these images are true close-ups. Slightly sharpened now with LightRoom.
