. In this heartwarming snapshot captured by FLPA photographer James Lowen, we witness an enchanting encounter between two worlds. As the summer sun bathes the picturesque Arne RSPB Reserve in Dorset, England, a freshly emerged Southern Hawker dragonfly takes its first flight into the world. But instead of venturing far and wide, it chooses to rest delicately on the outstretched hand of an intrigued child. With eyes filled with wonder and excitement, the young girl marvels at this magnificent creature that has chosen her as its temporary perch. The vibrant hues of nature's artwork are mirrored in both their beings – from the dragonfly's iridescent wings to the child's rosy cheeks flushed with joy.
