An Old Friend

We finally had some time to take a walk in our new neighborhood, and were lucky enough to run into this old friend:We immediately recognized the shine on its wings, while walking on the shadow side of the road...
...and its familiar brilliance in the full sun, under cloudless mountain skies.

dragonflies will be gone
there will be snow
by the time we learn these roads

We're acclimating. You can't believe the time it takes.
