Six feet across, spread the heron’s wings
great, grey appendages in slow flight
Some wings are camouflaged, propel
insect bodies who hover within sight.
A Monarch’s wings are stained-glass delicate
with each flutter, sprinkle fantasies of delight.

The way that the dragonfly’s wings disappear in the sand is amazing. Wonderful shots! Thanks for joining the challenge!

These are in such sharp focus! Wonderful – I am impressed since wings are usually, of course, in motion.
