From my early childhood on, I've always been impressed by their grace and beauty and the way they would just touch the water, to either drink or snap up a small insect.
Their four wings really knocked me out. :):)
The variety of Dragonflys are astounding and we have some beautiful specimens here in Oregon ~ I'd better do some field research this Spring and Summer. :):)
Woo Hoo is right ~ I like poetry even if I don't understand it. ;);)
Do you know how to save it to your hard drive??
The stages of their lives is astounding. They look almost like a cricket at one stage. They live only for 24 hours, that is my understanding. Elusive creatures.
You are too sweet. Thank you.
Sure and I meant it, too. :)
No...
I have Netscape, but I think that will work! :)
Fun for you word smiths!
There is a common english word (9 letters long), each time you remove a letter from it, its still an english word. (from 9 letters to ONE letter)
What is the original word, and what are the the words that it becomes after the removal of each letter?
Their four wings really knocked me out. :):)
I think 'somewhere' in all my stuff I have a magazine article on building RC airplanes that have the four spread out wings and look just like a huge dragonfly. If I ever find it, I may build some for fun!

Good Morning, bentfeather!
Unc keeps pinging me to this place. Better check it out in case he quizzes me on it later. What's with all these things flying around here? Shoo! Shoo! OH, wait a minute. They must be those dragonflies Bentfeather adores so much. Guess I'd better let them be in case she's flying around on one of them again. Hmm. Let's see. Think I'd better run thru these posts for a bit and get my bearings. Wonder if they've got donuts over here.
You should be more submissive, then you wouldn't be so stressed out all the time. Oh, and take your vitamins and geritol. And, please, don't eat the dragonflies...
I really would like to see
The inside of a symphony.
As every fluted note fades
choking color, feeding shades.
Look! As sound is secreted
It's counterpart is greeted.
In the blend, curiously mixed,
The harmony is rightly fixed,
And the world continues turning.
As I have told you several times before, I am diligently working on my submissiveness. Right now, I have more important things on my mind. Do you know where Bentfeather keeps the fish? Where's Tomkow? He always had some fish for Peli. These dragonflies might make some good bait. Got your fishing pole handy Unc?
Wow! Have we met? You're right on target! btw...do YOU have any fish for ol' Peli?
