    Very nice! Love how the dragonfly is carefree and the thunder is hopeful. A neat reversal of expectation.

      I take no credit. It was an experience I had just this past Sunday morning. Nature is truly an inspiration.

    Dragon-fly about the only one still active in the summer heat to provide some distractions!

      Yes, they are. This one was blue. We have red ones every now and then.

Carpe Diem #941 Heart The blue-eyed, blond haired boy stole my heart when he was just a kicking fetus.  The love continued to grow as we watched him coo, then talk his special talk.  Grandaddy, (Nandad) always let him play with the tool box.  Screwdrivers were i-dikers.  Caboose was bagoose. The Playskool Tyke Bike was and is nooden-nooden.  When looking for someone, he would say their name in a sing song, quizzical fashion while shaking his head in a negative fashion.  He now uses words he learned during his college and grad school years two decades ago.  These words are not nearly as fun as those precious made up toddler words. thunderclap acts as a bossy stormhorn rainbrella time! ©   Janice 'petra domina' Adcock Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on  CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI
