Shape-shifter

"Who would deduce the dragonfly from the larva, the iris from the bud, the lawyer from the infant? ...We are all shape-shifters and magical reinventors. Life is really a plural noun, a caravan of selves." -Diane Ackerman

I managed to take a few close ups of dragonflies in the late afternoon.

But this one captured the feeling of that moment in time, of late summer, of solitude.

I do feel like a shape-shifter when I look back on my life. Sometimes I think I would fail to recognize my younger self.
