#BlueSkyArtShow #Lights #patio #backyardphotography

I have an obsession with outdoor lighting and fire features.
Cozy nighttime patio setup: two glass cylinders filled with tangled strings of warm fairy lights sit in front of a lit tiki torch (bottle-style with a wick), flanked by two tabletop fire bowls with glass beads and small flames. Overhead, a projector casts a starry blue-and-green galaxy pattern across the ceiling.

A female Autumn Meadowhawk dragonfly on a deadheaded flower stem. These dragonflies are tiny and late flying. Their body length is around 30mm (1 1/4 inches). I seem to be seeing more each autumn. They're everywhere this year.
