when i went to the garden this morning to water the veggies, i took my camera along .. hoping i'd see yesterday's dragonfly and could get a photo of it. that was without doubt the most awesome dragonfly i've seen!... its body was a luminescent mid-blue, with a head that was Mediterranean turquoise and transparent wings with a black dot on each, like WOW! today i saw this beauty. i wonder why they so often perch on sticks...
and then there is the Taboo rose, which is usually so dark it is almost black. maybe all this sun is bleaching it? anyway, it's one of my faves.
and since a temp of 93 or so is expected today, i'm just hanging out indoors sippin' tea and getting ready to do some knitting on an entrelac piece which could become the front of a vest... or maybe a wrap/shawl... at this point it is an unknown.

Just recently we watched a dragonfly land on a stick in our garden. It aligned it's body with the stick so that only the transparent wings stuck out, and they were nearly invisible, because the dragonfly was on the far side of the stick. It then proceeded to crawl around the stick, keeping it's body close and parallel to the stick. Every now and then it would peek around the stick. Looked like a hide and seek mission. We figured this was how it hid from its prey.
