This is an image taken by me this summer. The dragonfly has always had a special meaning to me, so much so that I had a friend of mine tattoo one on my back. It has a beautiful, jewel-like coloring. ...............................................................................The dragonfly's bright colors take time to develop, reflecting the idea that with maturity our own true colors come forth. Structures in their shells scatter and refract light, making them look iridescent green and blue. This ability to reflect and refract light and color has caused it to be associated with magic and mysticism. Dragonfly's magic is the power of light and all that has ever been associated with it. In Japan, dragonflies represent new light and joy. Dragonflies remind us that we are light and can reflect the light in powerful ways if we choose to do so. Life is never quite the way it appears, but is always filled with light and color.The dragonfly reminds us to "Let Our Light Shine Forth" ...she brings the brightness of transformation and the wonder of colorful new vision.Wendy Kayte ~ Earth Child October 1948 ~ May 13, 1999
