Dragonflies Abound

Since I don't have the internet IN my apartment yet, I pick up a wireless signal down the hallway. Here, at the front of my building, I face the busy street. The vista is really beautiful: neon blinking, people crossing, cars whizzing by. It is the concrete jungle in which I have always wanted to live. Except of course, in the background, the majestic mountains stand proud.
One night I was out in my hallway office, looking out onto the city, as dusk was approaching. And then the dragonflies started. At first, it was only a few, but before too long, the sky was dotted with these beauties, darting down and across, barely missing the window as I marvelled. They are blue and green like they are back home, but most of the dragonflies here are red and orange. My picture looked like a strange haze had covered the lens...but these were the flies. It was quite a sight.
