Flight of the Dragonflies

Today parts of the yard got re-mowed.  While walking down to the butterfly meadow, I saw above it a numerous flock of giant dragonflies.  Alas, none of them seemed inclined to stop even for an instant, so I don't have any photos of them.  I loved watching them, though.  They are so beautiful and savagely graceful in the air!
