My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Tux messaging: A testy exchange interrupts a photo op at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.

More fun than a barrel: Tokyo's Ueno Zoo makes monkeys work for their New Year's treat -- they have to pull the bell rope correctly to release the fruits and veggies.

Fruit of the broom: A water tower in Gaffney, S.C., needs a good scrubbing to keep it peachy clean.

Siberian fun: Ice fishing is a great way to pass the time on frigid Lake Beloye in the Russian town of Kemerovo, known for its charming waterfront incinerators.

All seats taken: Power lines become a peanut gallery for birds looking for seeds and grubs exposed by fresh plowing in a cornfield outside of downtown St. Louis

[Lady Jag]

Now, that was just too good of an opportunity to pass up taking that photo.

Gritty birds for having a sense of humor...

[Soaring Feather]

LOL love that dog!! Funny.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh wow great dragon, woo hoo!

Thanks for all the great photos, Kathy, much appreciated.

[Lady Jag]

There's a huge variety of dragons! I did an image search and unfortunately had to quit it before getting anywhere, but there a LOT of pages!
