Bugs, bugs, bugs

They seem to be the only ones wanting to pose for me.

The "helicopters".

The bugs.

The dragonflies, I mean.

- By the way, these two pictures are "click able". Big ones!



A red one. I had never seen one like that, and for a moment, I thought my eyes were messing with me.



And a blue one, with a hairy nape of the neck. His wife needs to trim that!

On the same twig, did you notice? They were battling over that spot.

Oh vanity!...

I want to take the opportunity to welcome Jim, from Ocean Breezes, and Irish3 from Riley Coyote Creations .

I visited with both of you yesterday evening - a short visit, because I was half dead from work - and soon I will go back and read your blogs from the start.

Yes, yes, yes... I am that weird. I go back to the beginning, and read on, until I feel like I know you a little. Just a little, but enough for me to feel comfortable to leave comments. I am a shy old broad.

And I would like to say to our friend from Sweet Days Under The Oaks that:

- It is a great pleasure to have you here. I don't know what you did but, you opened the door. Come and have some coffee with us. It is brand new and it smells darn freaking good!!

Love ya!

Ok, you have done the best dragonfly photos I've ever seen. I wish I had more around here. Thanks for the leads on good blogs. Have a good 4th of July.

What great pictures! (I do not like bugs) I know all bugs have a purpose... but they scare me. Boo! Last week a huge spider dropped onto my hand outside and I freaked!
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend, Mariam.. :)

Well first of all I have to agree with everyone else that your photos are superb! I think you got that natural talent thing going on! And thank you for the sweet welcome back. Miriam, I have to tell you, I still don't know what the heck I did. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't! But I love being able to just yak at you here at the blog ;)

Stunning photos of lovely creatures. Miriam you have a real talent here.
Sorry I've not been by for ages. I literally have a pain in the neck & try not to sit too long blogging as I get very stiff. But I miss my fav Blogs. I love yours !
