Different Strings Found

Dragonfly On Strings which originally would have been made of cotton cords twined together with sisal, today more weather resistant threads are used.

Strings make up a clothesline even synthetic strings when cut splay out requiring heat to neaten the end of multiple strings. Taking advantage of a place in the sun to showcase his balance on the strings, advantage of Dragonfly landing during early morning to display some magnificent wings low enough for me to capture on the sly.

Strings of light make for amazing display of colour, with LED lighting these strings are able to be used in many ways giving a room ambiance altering textures by colour.

As is the baobab tree these lights displayed in, hand crafted soft metals strings interwoven to build an ornamental tree.

Many enjoy working with wire strings building toys, home displays use beads making up flowers or birds in colourful delightful additions around a home.

It's true, the ropes today are more resistant, and they make sense, given that there are more dragonflies that perch on the ropes of the clotheslines, I love that decoration of your well-lit home
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon @joanstewart

Strings simply threads made stronger for variety of purposes, most will think of stringed musical instruments, yet many places where they are used.

Dragonflies in full flight seldom sit like this, was after an exceptionally chilly night.

Before rain sometimes after we have swarms of them darting all over, most sunny days they simply hover or sit on plant stems.
