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...

LOLOL, I love it and you sure got it right. Those ducks and geese can really be aggressive!

[Lady Jag]

We just got back from two nights camping on the Cape Cod Canal. Bourne Scenic Park is a campground run by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Our spot was 50 feet from stairs that went down to the canal. It was like a boat show and 90% of them were pleasure craft.

I'll post some photos here for anyone interested. I think this might've been the one from Bermuda. There's a confirming pic around here somewhere. Indicates the width of the canal.

[Lady Jag]

I couldn’t believe I had a pic to go along with it.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Lady, welcome home!! Looks like a beautiful place to camp.

Please post more pictures, I would love to see them. ;)

[Soaring Feather]

LOL ducks and geese can be very aggressive, especially when they are raising their young.

[potlatch]

You’re like me, think we have a picture to go with anything, lol.

By the way, your camping trip on the Cape Cod Canal sounded like fun!

[Soaring Feather]

[Lady Jag]

It is a beautiful place and we'll definitely go back.

This view looks South to the Bourne Bridge. The campground runs along the canal and under the bridge. I have a better photo of that beautiful sailboat. The road, also maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers, is smooth as silk and practically flat, attracting a lot of walkers, bicyclers, skaters and skate boarders. No civilian gas vehicles allowed.

Sorry, but feeling a little depressed after watching the Dems pander to our War Vets.

Does a Road Go Both Ways?

The road,
winding down around the curve,
behind the dogwoods,
going someplace beyond the old iron bridge,
places I ain’t seen yet,
but I will,
I will!

Any change,
or is everything the same,
the place the same, or different,
like people just keep moving on and on,
and things I knew gone away
or to come back,
is there a back?

The road,
going away and coming back,
but never the same place,
for time is a door most uncertain and fey,
surprising in its revelations,
but I’ll try,
I’ll try!

The hardest lesson they will learn one day, in answer to the question:

If the need comes one day, who will answer the disparager’s call?

[TASMANIANRED]

I love to watch boats sailing..

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.

[Soaring Feather]

Ooops Good morning Meg!! I goofed, so sorry.

[Soaring Feather]

Beautiful work. Thank You.

[Soaring Feather]

Great picture! Thanks much.

[Soaring Feather]

No need to be sorry, Lost Dutchman, your post is fine and expresses the way I feel, too.

Passion Flower

Choose who will the wiser part— I have held her heart to heart; And have felt her heart-strings stirred, And her soul’s still singing heard For one golden-haloed hour Of Love’s life the passion-flower. So the world may roll or rest— I have tasted of its best; And shall laugh while I have breath At thy dart and thee, O Death! Victor James Daley
