Dragonfly on Wrought Iron

October 29, 2025 Ellen Jennings 2 Comments

Many of the older plots at Magnolia Cemetery have wrought iron fences marking their borders.

In mid October one dragonfly made use of this one as a perch, perhaps enjoying its position in the full sun now that autumn is with us.

He flew off as I approached and changed my angle, returning to a nearby finial after each foray.

A wider view shows that time has taken its toll on parts of this fence.

I’ve photographed this gate, part of a small family cemetery plot at Donnelley WMA, many times. Rarely do the results amount to much but I liked this one with the sun shining on the pond at the far end of the lodge lawn.

Cemetery Fences And Azaleas

The decorative fences in the older sections of Charleston’s Magnolia Cemetery fascinate me and the bloom azaleas really help them stand out.

Family Cemetery Gate

A small cemetery plot sits on the grounds of the Department of Natural Resources lodge at Donnelley WMA. I’ve passed it hundreds of times, walked around it dozens of times. This time the fog called me to try to capture the essence.
