The rusty bolt and dead dragonfly were on the old timber ledge of my carport. Even in death, the dragonfly is beautiful to behold with its lacy transparent wings. This is Hemianax papuensis - Australian Emperor.
Close up of the dragonfly. If you look carefully, you will see the front legs are reminiscent of holding one's head in one's hands.

wonderful post for the theme.
Hello, dear BFG, long time no see! Your photos are wonderful, as usual!
Lovely shots of decay.
Great theme day post.
Fabulous catch for theme day -- great quote as well.
What a find and capture! I love the delicate details, particularly on the dragonfly's body.
You have come up with something a little difference. Love your images and your choice for theme day.
Nice composition even if it was just happenstance. Special filter or effect? Great!
Hate to say this, but it died beautifully, at least in the photo.
You’ve made a great Theme Day post. I'm glad you picked these for today.
great post for theme day.
Wonderful choice and beautiful photos!
wonderful shots
excellent ontrib ution to the theme
These are beautiful photos. Sorry about the dead dragonfly, though. (that may be the only way I would ever get a good shot of one!)
Those shots are so well composed they're like little works of art!! Despite - or maybe because of - the subject matter!!
Yes, the first phto especially is very painterly indeed... great response to the theme.
