Each winter I prune our backyard grapevine. For the past eight years, I have used the branches to create a stick sculpture. This year’s addition is a Dragon Fly. During the summer months, a dragon fly patrolled the surface of our swimming pool each morning looking for breakfast. The sculpture honors those visits and helps me to remember the joy I felt in his graceful presence.

The dragon fly joins other creatures in the parkway. They include a peacock, apply tree with snake, and a bird.
