Morning Visitor

I happened to look out the window this morning and saw these two odd shapes sticking out on either side of one of the bars on my fire escape. At first I thought it was a piece of plastic bag that had somehow blown and got stuck there.

A few minutes later, I looked again and saw that it was a dragon fly! It was sitting so still that I didn't think it was something alive.

I've never seen one in the city before, but it sure was a nice way to start the day!
