While out on Pike Lake with Joyce in the kayaks a dragonfly landed on my hand and spent a minute of two resting there and cleaning its eyes, allowing me a close-up view. Normally, they are hard to get a close look at, since they tend to fly away at the slightest provocation. I don’t know anything about dragonflies, but this one was smallish and had light blue stripes. Some kinds keep their wings spread out when resting, but this kind folds them back.
As for another flying thing on Pike Lake, the Cessna 180 on floats that I saw last year was again tied up on the lake shore.
