Goldwinger
For those of you old enough to remember the classic Bond film of the same name (it was the same name, no?), the golden girl in the opening had nothing on this rather startling and certainly spectacular specimen I happened upon yesterday. As one who has spent a significant amount of quality time with dragonflies and am familiar with the many varieties abounding by the lake, I have never seen anything even remotely like this. In fact I am even more amazed looking at it today.
There is absolutely no processing magic involved in this as you can see from the entirely natural colors showing in the bonus selfie reflection on the window behind the screen on which it sat. I have included a second photo in comments primarily to confirm the reality of this golden apparition. No doubt an omen relating to the dragonfly's primary symbolism of change...and a significant one at that. I'll let you know when I discover its portent....if I can, of course.
