Have you ever watched a dragonfly?

Every Thursday we would go to a friend's house to hang out around the pool. He was there to tan and drink beer, I was there to commune with nature and listen to them, they were funny. One day, mid July, we were basking on the deck. He was telling a no sh** I was there story, we all shared the same hobby. As his story began I was gazing out over the pool, I noticed a dragonfly hovering over the center of the pool, most of his body was the same color as the pool liner, that really pretty blue. His head was green, bright green and he blended into the background of the pool. As I watched he took off, fast, made a big semi circle and went back to the same spot he had been in. I realized he was using the pool for camoflauge. It was so cool. I watched him for a long time.
