Here be dragonflies

Well, one dragonfly, and a beautiful one at that- chillin’ next to the mailbox.
Another view:
I don’t recall ever seeing a creature like this one here. This seems like part and parcel of a very weird summer with very weird weather. May was freezing with lots of snow; June was on the cool side (and in Calgary, that means that most nights, the heat went on), and the last few days, it’s been almost unbearably hot and humid. This is humidity like we’ve never experienced before (in 7 years here): 19 and even 20 degree dewpoints, bona fide “haze,” the whole east-of-the-prairies experience.
