I can now say that I have actually pet a dragonfly! I was in the pasture with T and was looking behind the barn for more places the chickens are laying. I happened to notice this lovely blue dragonfly sitting on an ugly weed. I snapped a few shots then got down on one knee and the camera kept focusing in on the weeds not the dragonfly. So I go to manual focus and after several tries got the camera focused (not something easily done with eggs in one hand and the camera in the other) and noticed the dragonfly kept coming back and looking at me. Soon I had the camera only an inch from the dragonfly and it stayed, I put down the camera. Thinking the dragonfly would leave I reached up and touched its legs then down its back. So awesome! I have always loved dragonflies.
