Dragonflies and Lovely Shapes

Dragonflies (available as a print here)

It stops me in my tracks when I see a dragonfly.
That doesn't happen very often, so when I saw this one, I had to get my camera out and capture it before it flew right away!

They're lovely shapes to draw and I can imagine I'll be drawing more before too long. :)

I spotted another lovely shaped object, this amazing seedhead

and something else that caught my eye. Beautifully curved, lipstick pink flower petals, almost transparent in the sunshine.

I love the silhouette of the stems of this plant with its bright pink flower heads against the dark green of the yew. (I'm not great at knowing plant names -sorry!) But I do know that the almost ghostlike plant behind it is love-in-the-mist. I'm growing some in my garden but they're still very tiny at the moment. All that rain has confused my poor seedlings and now the sun is hot to trot, they may well bloom after all!

Have a lovely weekend one and all. :)
