"Fly, Dragonfly, fly! Spread your wings, take off to the skies, follow the blowing winds!"- OnlyEggy, poet
These little critters come in so many colors, it’s hard to ignore when one lands on your porch or flowers. This blue beauty was spotted by Erin Burnett on the edge of a small pond at Maple Hill Preserve in Blairstown.
Speaking of color, Wanderings aims to show you the way to plenty of local Warren County color! Visit Washington Borough Farmers’ Market to meet Seashell Santa for Christmas in July, and/or learn to paint beautiful sunflowers at VonThun Farms and take one home.
