Skywatch Friday

Please click photo to enlarge. The tiny bugs the dragonflies are after will come into view.

Last year I wondered where all the dragonflies had gone. I'm pleased to report that they are back. A couple of nights ago, I was amazed to see the dragonflies swarming in the front yard, apparently feeding on tiny bugs that seemed to be rising from the soil. I wasn't able to get a photo that reflected the great numbers of dragonflies in the yard. They zoomed past so quickly, I felt lucky to get a few in one shot. And luckier still when they rose high enough in the air that I could photograph them against the sky!

Skywatch Friday



During one of those rare days when it didn't rain recently, I took this photo. The clouds were so lovely. It was really nice to look up and see a blue sky and lovely clouds instead of getting a face full of rain! Please click the photo to enlarge.

I'm sorry about the blank last week. I think I must have used the Picasa function the wrong way. I use the blogger upload function this week. Hopefully, the photo will not disappear!

Click Skywatch Friday to see many beautiful sky photos from all over the world!

Tina Needs - a Meme

The 'Needs Meme'

I was tagged by Storyteller at Small Reflections for this one.

This is a very simple but fun meme. Here are the rules:
Google your first name with the word needs and post the first 10 results. I included my comments in italics. You don't have to do that if you don't want to. Tag folks if you want. I will leave it to you. If you'd like to do this meme, please let me know so I can read your results.

Sweet Tina needs a slower pace. If I move any slower, I might slip into a coma! LOL
