The Stained-Glass Dragonfly
The stained-glass Dragonfly emerged from his cocoon to shine a light on a fragile world. Equally fragile himself, he thought it was worth the risk.
‘Go safe out there in 2017’ was his belated message, he was having his wings cleaned and window cleaners do not work on Bank Holidays.

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”―Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Macro Monday theme: Backlit
A few years ago I built a to scale replica of the Duomo de Milan. This stained glass window is part of that model, it measures 2 inches by 1 inch.
Several Danaus plexippus (Monarch butterfly) clustering for overwintering amongst the withering leaves of an oak at Ernle Clark Reserve, Christchurch, New Zealand.
Smaller clusters here (a few hundred spread around this tree), but it is a lovely park and one of my favourite old haunts. While there is something to be said for the larger, denser clusters (which I've been photographing elsewhere), there is something I love about them spread out in smaller groups in the oak leaves and basking - especially when sunny (if not exactly warm) when a few will leave and rejoin, causing the perched ones to flap their wings in sympathy (yes, probably protest). I can watch them for hours.
I love the way the sun passes through those backlit wings like stained glass windows. While the background is contrastier than I like, it sort of frames the subject here.
This may be the first time I have shared a butterfly in flight as I don't like how awkward/ungainly they seem when frozen in time mid-flap. But I really like what it is doing here with wings outstretched.
Cropped, but otherwise unprocessed camera jpeg.
The stained glass texture is a wild one - I am intrigued with the variations in the hues and web like shaping
