We’re well in to the new year (or at least it’s been over a week – feels like longer!). I’ve not been 100% well, but today was better – got a lot done (Yay)!
Went to the cafe early on. It was very busy, so we had to sit at a wooden bench. Not overly comfortable, but lovely light through the pot plants…

This was a sweet little pot 🙂

It feels like a good time to be chasing the light – whatever that means in practical terms!
I was sitting on the patio the other day, and a dragonfly was hovering around the garden.

We get a lot of them around our place. I tried to take a closer photo, but it kept taking off if I moved. It came back to the same stick, though… apparently a bare stick is a dragonfly’s favourite lookout for prey.
They’re beautiful, in all their different guises. We sometimes get bright blue or red ones, but this was a bright gold, glinting in the sun.
Dragonflies appear to symbolise various things, in many countries, but most often the symbolism revolves around life, change and transformation. Watching my visitor gave me a chance to contemplate the possible transformations in the year ahead…
Not a bad way to spend a morning!
