Jul 22, 2011: On coming from the city, I went to the hothouse to see how my greeneries are doing. I heard some unusual rattling and looked who stick in the hothouse. It turned out to be a dragonfly - a rare guest in our garden. I catched it carefully to help it get out. Surprisingly, the dragonfly did not fly away as soon as it felt freedom. Instead, it set for a couple of minutes on my hand. I didn`t expect such behavious from a dragonfly: usually dragonflies (to my regret) keep at a distance of at least 1 m from people and bolt away when you try to get a little bit closer. Fortunately, my camera was with me, as usual. Something wonderful can happen at any second :).
