Great Blue Skimmer

I've made my way through Queen Anne's Lace (wild carrots) to pond's edge where sweat bees sting my legs with great persistence. I watch as frogs jump across the water's surface like a skipping stone before they disappear into darkness. The sun's beading down on my head when I see a great blue skimmer perched on a reed. He submits himself to the sun and surrounding quietness for only a moment before flitting off to another reed.
Note: Image is sooc (straight out of camera) with the exception of some cropping.

Early this morning we were on our way home from town when I looked over to see this hawk. Originally he was on the ground and I, of course, didn't have my camera. We sped home grabbed the camera to find the hawk still enjoying something upon our return. We managed to get turned around so that I was positioned for the picture taking when a dragonfly or damselfly flew inside our car. Undetoured I snapped the picture.
I think this is my best shot, so far, of a hawk. I haven't played with this image in Photoshop yet but would like to see if I can take that leaf away from his face so you can see it a bit better. But, that will be for another day as I'm tired right now and getting ready for bed. Good night~

Yesterday my daughter and I went riding around on country roads we'd never been on before. We saw turkey vultures in freshly cut fields and a red fox in another field which was grown up. We saw sunflowers growing in gardens and alongside a stream. Some were healthy and others were weak, dying.
We foraged through ashes and found small treasures waiting for our prying hands to deliver them from the blackness. We found a clear Christmas bulb and a charred hand- a broken statue of sorts. We're left to wonder why some things are treasured and others are burned, forgotten.
Yesterday I was reminded of how precious each of you are. How your comments make my day a little brighter and make me :) Thank you all for being close by when I've needed a friend. Thank you for being patient when I've been restless. You've all carried me through without complaint and I wanted to let you know I appreciated everything.
Yesterday I read that Paul Squires (a blogger & poet) died July 28th at the age of 46. Though I didn't know him as well as some of you it struck me quite hard. He was to young to die. His death made me realize that blogging can be fun and sad at once. The journey each of you take me on makes my heart swell and the thought of losing another blogging friend is almost to much to bare. To each of my blogging friends... take care.
Paul... may your next journey be as great as the one you left behind. Rest in peace.

Here's another sooc (straight out of camera) photo from our visit to the zoo earlier this year. This guy framed up nicely in the photo don't you think? I have more zoo photos if you'd like to see them but you'll have to scroll through the images a bit. Once you've scrolled far enough you'll see a lesser adjutant stork, white tiger, sumatran rhinoceros, red panda & a spangled cotinga. If you decide to look at the other photos let me know which is your favorite.
