Isn't it nice when teenagers connect with nature? We have a wildlife garden, so our son is used to critters.
Yesterday, our 15 year old brought us a poor dragonfly damaged by all the wind along the beach at Galveston.
We put it under the umbrella and gave it a nice rest. Why there were dragonflies all over the windy sand dunes is beyond me. Maybe it's a great place for mosquito hunting.
The complete Macro Monday collection is over at Lisa's Chaos. Go visit! :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Melanie,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I thought to look up what you wrote about where to find your blog, because when I had clicked on your name to get to your profile, I got a message that your profile was private.
My son is now 31, and still has that love for nature. The poor dragonfly! I hope your son keeps his tender heart for nature, too.
Love the close up picture of the dragonfly face! And yes, we do have cool weather now! Its 8AM and 52 degrees. I love it!
