The “Shadow” from a Halloween Dragonfly
No Tricks Here – This is a Genuine Treat
A Halloween Pennant (Celithemis eponina) and its “shadow” on the beach at Bahia Honda State Park, Big Pine Key, Florida, on Feb. 14, 2017. Not until I saw this did I imagine that the wings of a dragonfly, with the sun just right, might project like celluloid.
So, in real life, this was no digital dragonfly. It was like an old motion picture.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

You have such an artist’s eye! I don’t believe I’ve ever even seen color in a “shadow” before.
