Red Sky at Night

The sky was brilliant aqua.  My camera inside.  Ran.  Got it.  Aqua gone, red gorgeous.  August 18, 2011

Fun with remote controlled boats on a Parkside West pond.

Late Afternoon...a Rainbow Sky in July



 Ribbons of lavender, rose and blue

Create a spectacular sundown

With colorful reflection upon the pond

Beyond the plentiful lavender crepe myrtles blooms. 

Pink Flowers in the Fields

Earth laughs in flowers.

Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower.

Dragonflies Hop the Pond and Reflect upon its Water

My grandmothers and my great grandmother used to tell my sister and I that a dragonfly was a blessing and arrived to herald in good news or good people arriving soon.  They also told us that "darning needles" would stitch our fingers together.  I always wondered how the Darning Needles and the Dragon Flies, which to me were one and the same, could share good news while knitting on my fingers.   Hummm....

These dragonflies were photographed on our pond, hopping along the water, making one puddling circle after another and reflecting their images perfectly across the water.  Come again, often, dear dragonflies!
