Pond

Our "pond" near our apartment held wonders today. As I walked Chloe early this morning I saw a huge Blue Heron take flight. Almost as if in slow motion, graceful.

This afternoon a frog skipped about 3-4 times across the water then took a dive in the, I'm sure, cool water.

Summer

The deep swell off to the side of our apartments is once again filled with rain water. the insects dapple in the water causing the sun to reflect upon them and glitter like diamonds. Purlple thistle and Queens Anne Lace surround the pond. Dragonflys flit about in the sunshine.

I saw an unusual dragonfly today while I was walking Chloe. Deep brown with soft blue wings. I haven ever seen on that color before.

To me, the unusual and the eclectic IS the norm.

Blessed Be
