“Grays” on me? No, don’t eat me! (See what I did there?)
This post features images from guest photographer Michael Powell, taken during a photowalk with me at an undisclosed location in Fairfax County, Virginia USA.
The photos show two different male Gray Petaltail dragonflies (Tachopteryx thoreyi) perched on me.

The last photo shows a male Gray Petaltail perched on my bucket hat. Look closely at the full-size version of the photo. Notice the dragonfly appears to be grazing upon a smaller insect. (See? I did it again!)

I call the preceding photo “Wilson Wilson” because it reminds me of a discussion between Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor and his next-door neighbor Wilson Wilson about a flying saucer that Wilson saw. See Home Improvement: Believe It or Not Clip (1:31).

I’m thinking that the Gray Petaltail needed a shoulder to cry on and you were there for him.
