  2. A little bit, Glenn, but not as much as it might seem. The dragonfly perhaps seems to be flying but is actually perched on that leaf with its wings folded forward.

  3. Heh, patience is probably my strongest point as a "photographer," but with the gear I got only a fucking idiot would actually *try* to catch a bug in flight!!

  4. "Far-off mountain peaks
    Reflected in its eyes:
    The dragonfly."

    FYI: In Japanese they're "tonbo." Thanks for the poem!
