2. There is one day in a Quebec summer, when all the dragon flies

lose their wings. And all those dragon fly wings float on the surface of the water. And it is sad but also the cycle of life. The dragon flies themselves were fish food I think. A day before, or so, they were mating. Not a long life.

I'll bet that 180mm macro gives you good working distance!
