A glint of light caught my eye.

A red-bodied dragonfly angled its wings to soak in the warmth of the morning. The gossamer wings reflected the light of the sun.

I moved closer to look at him. As I approached, he raised his long, crimson body and turned his head toward me to assess the danger. His giant eyes framed a cat's smile.

He didn't fly away. He turned his head back and settled himself, readjusting his wings to meet the sun. I wished I had wings for sunbathing, too.
