Yes, I know most people would quickly move along when a snake is on the walking path.
Me? I stop for a chat and a photo.

You know that awful feeling when you’re working a jigsaw puzzle and there is a piece missing?
I found it.
Yes. That one.
While watching the dragonflies around our pond I lamented to my husband that there is a big striped one that never lands, so I’ll never get a picture of it. Of course, he looked around and said “you mean that one?”
Yes. That one.

On that recent trip where I walked along the Mt. Vernon trail I got a lovely view of the Jefferson Memorial as I made my way to my meeting site.

During a recent trip to Washington, DC, I was staying in Crystal City (on the Virginia side of the Potomac) and my meetings were in DC proper. Out of curiosity, I asked my phone if I could walk and lo and behold there is a lovely trail called the Mt. Vernon that took me on a pleasant journey. It was very different than my usual view walking next to the Columbia River – for one thing more often than not I was in tree tunnels like this one!
I’m not watching you
This time a red-headed finch joined us for a bite to eat. Then he promptly ignored me.

Longhorns, chilling at the ranch. As they do.
The return of summer
I’m sure we all have our signals that summer is truly here. Now that we have a pond and waterfall in our backyard, I’ve decided that summer is heralded by dragonflies. I’m delighted that they have returned and are enjoying the plants and water as much as we are. No doubt you’ll be seeing more dragonfly photos – as long as they stop long enough for me to take them! This one is perched on the tip of a nearly-about-to-bloom obedient plant (that’s its name, honest) that we recently planted in the shallows. He looks to be the same as the first dragonfly I ever posted (still one of my favorite photos).
Mmmph?
Another goldfinch showed up for a meal, and seemed a tad put out by all the photography attention.

About a quarter of a mile down my road is a center-pivot farm. This is the kind of farm you get when irrigation is always required – from the air the plots are large circles. A massive irrigation arm comes out of the center and has motors that push it slowly around the circle so everything gets watered equally. It’s really quite impressive.
