It's nice folks like you who help me to forget about the occasional creep who bumps into my life.<br /><br />That dragonfly had just nearly drowned, so maybe my thumb loomed as a port in the storm to it. But once in a while even lively dragonflies will park on my person. Most amazingly, a hummingbird once came and sat on my hand as I paddled across a lake. Like a blessing, it was.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-6762796756686276612009-07-31T11:00:31.154-04:002009-07-31T11:00:31.154-04:00I'm sorry to hear about your strap issue--don&...I'm sorry to hear about your strap issue--don't you just have to wonder sometimes what's with people? <br /><br />I'm impressed you had a dragonfly sit on your hand. I usually find them pretty wary. Great photos!<br /><br />Carolyn H.Carolyn H.http://roundtoprumings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-52356273676059852842009-07-30T09:40:40.269-04:002009-07-30T09:40:40.269-04:00It's been thundery every day here too for week...It's been thundery every day here too for weeks now - and blustery too. I know how you felt about just having to get outside. That dragonfly... its wings, they are just incredible! You caught the iridescence so well. How lovely to fish it out of the water and see it on it's way - even if it was into the teeth of a coming storm...<br /><br />Oh and how petty are people sometimes? You get someone who will steal whatever there is, just because they can, and no thought to the person they steal from. Glad you had your old ties spare but still...Grrrrr!Birdhttp://www.thebirdsinthemeadow.com/category/blog/noreply@blogger.com
