Memoirs of a Voodoo Beach Bunny

A Common Whitetail dragonfly has been playing hide-and-seek with me all afternoon. While I was outside enjoying my ice water and just enjoying the day, he was content to fly around my head and landed on my feet a few times. As soon as the camera came out, the little bugger buzzed away and would land just long enough to tease me.

So, until I can capture a close-up of the little beast, enjoy this photograph from Wikipedia.

It is a beautiful fair-weather day. The sky is a gorgeous blue with loads of fluffy white clouds, and a few high atmosphere floaters that look like dragons lazing on the currents.

White clouds scud along the horizon like sea-flecked foam in the wake of the setting sun.


I totally did not snap this whilst moving in my vehicle. I was at a stop sign *halo*.
I also wish I had a better camera for these shots than the mobile's camera.

I love geraniums. I love them so much that I am showing the geraniums that I have on my patio off to the world.



They cannot understand that the figure of a labourer -- some furrows in a ploughed field, a bit of sand, sea and sky -- are serious objects, so difficult but at the same time so beautiful, that it is indeed worth while to devote one's life to the task of expressing the poetry hidden in them.
-Vincent van Gogh

On Daylight Savings Time:

O, vain glorious man!
Striving to chain the sun to your convenience.

A pox on thee.

To an Osprey:

A solitary osprey scouts last summer's nest in the warm afternoon.

Spring cleaning is on the horizon

We have all of us eaten the pomegranate seed of language, and we are its Persephones in its ways of structuring our experience of ourselves and the world.

~John Moriarty, Turtle Was Gone a Long Time

Late autumn is truly making its presence known now and the the days will be cooler with rare warmer ones cherished and enjoyed.

The osprey nests are empty. They have been for a few weeks now, but it's just now stuck into my mind. I pass by the empty nests on the way to work each day, but today a few of the staff were wearing their Leonardtown Osprey sweatshirts for school spirit day and it reminded me that the birds have flown south for their wintering. Until March or thereabouts, the only ospreys in the county will be school mascots.
