All summer my pond has been visited by a lovely checkered dragonfly. One day he laid himself to final rest on a lily pad. I put the wings on The Shrine of Fragile Things with the bee, the moth and the curled leaf. When I found this ancient Chinese snuffbottle it seemed like the perfect homage to a being who lived only months, from June to August.
