Where Dragonflies Alight

It was a long hike before they reached the campsite, and sunlight was fading with the slight threat of rain. Mandy was weary and Jeff's mood was quite dreary. There was much yet to prepare before dark of night. Tents needed raising, then fire and food to prepare. Labors completed by the bright glow of moonlight. Mandy gathered dry kindling while Jeff found water, near a stand of cattails where dragonflies alight. Gazing at the laggard walk of a red capped crane, Jeff's mood was quite dreary, and Mandy was weary, 'til scared by trumpets of the sandhill crane in flight.
