For #AppreciateADragonDay here are two neat Japanese kawari-kabuto helmets surmounted by giant #dragonflies ! Admired as agile and efficient hunters, dragonflies were dubbed "kachimushi" ("victory insect") and became a favorite samurai emblem.

[Japan was also known as Akitsushima, "Dragonfly Island(s)," named for the shape of the island chain]

Today is #AppreciateADragonDay ! Take some time to show your local dragon some appreciation in any form that comes to mind. Offer them a snack, a scritch, or a snuggle. Complement them or let them know you appreciate having them around. Lay out a comfy blanket for them to lay against. Or simply sit for a minute and imagine all the ways your world is better because of them.
