A Welcome Visitor

The day of the frog swim you might recall that I saw a beautiful blue dragonfly there too. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it on film :(

But the great thing is that with 2 ponds--lots of trees and other plants--and good weather, we get a lot of dragonfly sightings. So a few days passed and I was at the pond again; when all of a sudden one landed really, really close by me. Just a few feet away actually.

Totally unexpected, totally a surprise and totally a blessing!

But the question is---can you see him/her?

Look really hard now.

Actually since probably all of you have younger eyes then mine, I am sure you will see him right away. But for me and my 'antique' eyes here is another view.

Now isn't that neat?

Maybe someday I'll get a photo of that hawk which keeps doing 'flybys' over our home...

one can always hope.

"Dear mother earth, who day by day
Unfoldest blessings on our way,
O praise Him! Alleluia!…
Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness,
O praise Him! Alleluia!"
