19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A friendly face lost in the woods

While wandering through the woods in Georgia, I came across this little dragonfly sitting as still as it could be on a low branch. It looks as if it is smiling at the camera, and the dragonfly seemed to love having its photo taken. We often don't take the time to look at the smaller, harder to see things in the world, and I think this is a perfect example of why we should.
