365 Project Day 178: When Dragons Fly

Canon 5D Mark ll, 100 mm 2.8 macro, 3.2 aperture, 1/100 shutter, 100 ISO

She sits atop a curl of barbed wire, veiled by stained glass wings. She is other-worldy in her fierce beauty, perhaps a glimpse of heaven. I stand amazed at her delicate features, the wings that resemble the windows of cathedrals, the colorful stripes glimmering over her body. She is poised and at the ready to flit and fly where she pleases. Right now, it seems to please her to dance here for me, on relevé, almost posing, filtering the sun through her colorful panes.

Glorious dragonfly, tell me more about eternity.

Ezekiel 10:18,19 ~ “Then I watched the brightness of the LORD’s glory move from the entrance of the temple and stop above the winged creatures. ¹⁹They spread their wings and flew into the air with the wheels at their side. They stopped at the east gate of the temple, and the LORD’s glory was above them.”

Revelation 4:11 ~ ““You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
