Red dragonflies

There were seemingly hundreds of red dragonflies hovering in the airspace of our backyard on Sunday. They were just beautiful. A photo couldn't have captured the prettiness of it all but this gorgeous watercolour print by Peggitha comes very close.

I wonder what they were up to and where they were off to in such great numbers? Whatever and wherever it was, I'm so glad they passed through my garden. It was the bright spot of my Sunday.
