The Dragonflies' Lair~Thread~XXXV~March 25, 2007

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...

I love the graphic. That is what is lovingly referred to as an Aw s*it moment. LOL

Hello all,

I tried to upload some pictures from my digital camera but I forgot the little extra-smally-thingy you need to connect to a normal sized USB port.

As I transfered flights in San Francisco they were having a huge silver exhibition. Kind of funny given my silver spoon epiphany! There were dozens of silver objects, the ones I liked most (and took most photos of) dated from the early 1900's.

Teapots, dishes, bowls, spoons (of course), and even little clocks! But my digital camera is not the best in the world, and I'm still learning how to use it, so some of the pictures might not be too wonderful.

SF airport was also having an Indonesian exhibition and I took some pictures of exotic dolls and murals. Finally, in Taipei, there was a small display of Buddhist images, which I took some snaps of as well.

I will look forward to trickling these all into the Lair over the next 3 weeks, at which point, it appears right now anyway, I will go back to Bangkok for a couple days of visa issuing. And in Bangkok I'll try to go on some of the available tours, so I'll try to get through all my 'return to Asia' images before then.

Why don't Lairites search a bit on the Internet and see which tourist attraction you want me to take a photo op tour to? Maybe the River Kwai, or maybe the Floating Market. Look around and I'll take special requests, otherwise I'll just pick one myself (it must be affordable! and also must be near Bangkok, I'm not going to travel around Thailand this time!). Let me know!

Life is strange, isn't it? I can see all these sights and go live in exotic locations (and eat the delicious foods I'm so happy to return to), but drive a truck or do manual labor in my own country? No, no, can't have that at all! A strange destiny, is mine.

Cheers, and see you around,

starbase

Hello starbase, good to hear from you!

I would have loved to attended the silver exhibition silver is my favorite.

I would love to see the Floating Market and some pictures of lotus flowers, anything you wish to shoot is fine with me. I am happy to see the photos. Maybe some of the others have some good ideas.

You just have a wonderful time no matter where you go!

WE love hearing about your adventures. Cheers!

April
Sara Teasdale


The roofs are shining from the rain,
The sparrows twitter as they fly,
And with a windy April grace
The little clouds go by.

Yet the back yards are bare and brown
With only one unchanging tree--
I could not be so sure of Spring
Save that it sings in me.

Hello, NYA!!

Thanks, glad you like the picture.

It has been light here for hours and hours. ;)

No snow on the ground, but it is in the air.

This just happens to be a day off. the automatic timer turned on the coffee so it was done before I got up. Still no snow? I bet that you are very disappointed?
