On a blackberry bush at Titlow Park.

"In Japan the dragonfly is considered to be very sacred. Red dragonflies appear most often there at the end of summer with the message that autumn is coming. A beautiful Haiku poem reads, "That the autumn season has begun is decided by the appearance of the red dragonfly". The Japanese embrace the dragonfly as a symbol of courage, strength and happiness while the Native Americans speak of the dragonfly as bringing a time of rejuvenation after a long period of trials and hardship. Further, the Native Americans perceived dragonflies as the "souls of the dead" so a dragonfly visitation around a loved one's death could well signify the loved one's soul taking form in the spirit of dragonfly. It offers the assurance their soul is free." Dragonfly Times
