Day 123: Saving the Life of a Dragonfly
Tonight I found a dragonfly trapped in our garage door light fixture. I heard him/her buzzing around and knew I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if I didn't try to rescue it. So I got up on a ladder and found a way to open it up and it flew out only to go directly toward the light bulbs in the back of the garage. So I scrabbled over and turned all the lights off and I heard its wings buzz loud and the softly away into the dimly lit outdoors. Ah, it was saved!
However, about 30 minutes after I did this, the most torrential downpour—a massive, rain, thunder, and lightening storm—started. So not sure I saved its life. I could have sent it into the wild world of chaotic rain. Here's to hoping he/she made it - a little homage to my dragonfly.
