The significance of the Dragonfly is as simple as the sunrise. Today I awoke to my dog curled up next to me and on the other side a blue dragonfly was on the pillow at the other end of the bed. It was or is very strange… I thought I was dreaming, I got and the dragonfly flew and up around the apt I spent the next 10 minutes half asleep trying to catch it and put it out side … After 4 minutes I scooped him up with a magazine and a Chinese soup container to get him safely outside by the pool. A half hour later I am walking to the beach at sunrise I as thinking I do not have any pictures of dragonfly’s hmmmm……



I returned home and googled what Dragonfly’s symbolize and I went though thousands of images trying to find one image of a Dragonfly.
