21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Fantasy
Dragonflies are the sprites of summer, commonly found in freshwater habitats such as ponds and rivers with good ecological conditions. During the season when lotus flowers bloom, they dance gracefully over the water, resembling celestial maidens with flowing movements. From "Tiny lotus tips emerge, and dragonflies alight early" to "Walking into the courtyard, counting the blossoms, a dragonfly soars above the jade-combed hair," each phrase conveys the poetic beauty of a rhythmic natural world. Let this collection of dragonfly photographs take us back to the colorful days of childhood.
