How fast can a dragonfly fly?




















Sam's next choice was a scooter/walk/run. He likes to scooter while I walk or run. In La Jolla we usually took the bike path by our house. But sometimes, for a special treat, we would go to the Mission Beach boardwalk. It's always a tender moment between mother and son...side by side, enjoying the ocean, early in the morning...when the old guy in a thong roller skates by.

Here in Ithaca we went over to Stewart Park--about a mile from our house--and what began as fresh air and exercise quickly turned into dragonfly hunting. Good news for me is that a dragonfly can out fly even a very determined , fast, skillful 5-year-old boy with a Ziploc bowl...
