Beauty

Here are some of the beauties that I’ve seen so far this summer.

Back from the Cornfield

/ Rebecca / 12 Comments

I spotted this squirrel as she finished toting a corncob from an adjacent cornfield to a nearby maple tree in our neighbor’s yard. She placed it on the ground and pulled it backwards to fit between the roots of the trunk.  There, in her safe and comfortable spot she sat, enjoying her delicious prize, one kernel at a time.

Dragonflies

Some of the beautiful dragonflies hanging around the lake.

Below are dragonfly nymphs on the underside of leaves near the water.

Curious dragonfly with
Wings of stained glass,
Oh, ancient bearer
Of secret dreams,
Your delicate beauty
Keeps wonder in my heart.
~Grace Edwards
