“We are perishing for want of wonder, not for want of wonders.” ~G. K. Chesterton
Dragonflies and damselflies
Big old bullfrog
... When the marshy meadows glimmer With a misty, purple shimmer, And the twilight flush is changing into shade; When the firefly lamps are burning And the dusk to dark is turning,-- Then the bullfrogs chant their evening serenade ... ~Joseph Crosby Lincoln
