I noted the legend in that book.
"The dragonfly is a symbol of change, going beyond self-illusion to create new beginnings and happiness. Because their colors result from reflected and refracted light, dragonflies may be associated with color magic and illusion. For some Native Americans they represent the souls of the dead."
Dragonflies are often featured in my art, especially the work I create on Yupo. This is small section of a diptych acrylic painting.
I love dragonflies and will keep on searching for their meaning.

I never knew the legend behind them.
Funny you bought the necklace right off her neck!
I love dragonflies and damselflies and love the native totem meanings. Your painting is just so beautiful with the colours that evoke the refracted colours of this insect.
You would love all the dragonflies we have here this season. Most are black, but they are everywhere.
Hi Monti - that was a lucky purchase ... and looks wonderful. There are lots of dragonflies around here ... but ours are coloured ... iridescent ... like your painting. Cheers Hilary
I loved the necklace immediately, Alex, and still do.
Thank you, Birgit.
Black dragonflies sound intriguing, Diane. Perhaps they have a special meaning.
All dragonflies attract me, Hilary.
Thanks, All, for your comments.
