The Dragonfly at the Park

It's been Sconce Fest today, where there has been some stalls, horse box coffee shops, and assorted caterwaulings by some kind of "Frozen" type entertainer and a reggae band featuring a very angry girlfriend of the drummer.

It also featured me running through it very very slowly indeed; after a good quick 6km last night, I did a rubbishly stodgy one today, my shoulder still isn;t right and keeps waking me up in the night, although it seems to be gradually improving.

This is of no concern to the female common darter I came across, which although having 4 shoulders (and 6 legs) didn't seem to be having any trouble with any of them. Instead it allowed itself to be filmed sitting on a post, although it didn't allow a shot to be taking of the time it spent sitting on my arms.

I've never had much on my arm; a dragonfly there was a mega bonus.
