Batttered Wings

I fear this dragonfly was at the end of her life, but I rescued her and took her to a pond in a friend's garden, after it seemed she wasn't able to hang on to the bay tree twigs as I took her photo.

There's a song called Battered Wings by Cheating Alethia

Beautiful shot and story, so sad though.

Beauty remains even if it is the end.

A good close up. I like the pattern on the body (camouflaged?) and the delicate pattern of the wings.
