Dragonflies.
Here's a cool pic I found at a photgraphy gallery website. It's of a twelve spotted skimmer, or Libellula pulchella.
Isn't it beautiful? A couple of weeks ago I was outside on my deck at dusk. Suddenly a whizzing sound rushed past my head. As I turned my head upward I saw 3 or 4 dragonflies speeding about in circles around our back yard. Dinnertime, no doubt. They were amazing! With their speed and agility, they seem like small birds.That was a great evening.

Yes, I do know what it is like to have one little thing that lightens my life. I look at picture I have of my grandkids, I see their smiles and boy, does my heart pitterpat! Of course it also makes me sad to know I can't just hug and squeeze them the way I like and cover them with kisses. Okay, I did not do this to make you sad for me, but I can also sit myself in a beautiful spot and enjoy the earth, moon, sky, mountains, lakes (etc) wherever I may be. i take in the wonders of the natural Universe, no matter how changed by us humans and thank GOD for those blessings I have, my family and friends. "THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL TO ME"!
Hope you have a good day.
OH! and THANK YOU for them, too!
What's so great about dragonflies? They're kind of creepy. And they have the word DRAGON in their name! Dragons are evil. Remember when Bilbo Baggins had to kill a dragon? That dude sure didn't brighten anybody's day, I can tell you that!
It's kind of like that guy you see everywhere you go walking down the street. There's just something about them.
For me it's the unexpected hug from my 9 year old at the end of the day, especially when I've had to ream him all day!
