This picture of a male common whitetail dragonfly was taken several years ago at the edge of a pond in the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle. There were quite a number of different varieties of dragonflies and damselflies just in this one little pond.

I find dragonflies to be pretty amazing from their beautiful colors to their flight maneuvers.

The next time you are out by a small body of water, check out these tiny winged creatures with a good pair of binoculars and see how much variety you can see.

How many are your works, Lord!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
Psalm 104:24 (The Message)
