Dragons and nectar...
Yesterday, I saw some dragonflies mating. I was noticing and appreciating that they were complimentary colors - one beautiful blue, the other bright yellow. It is so interesting how nature pays attention to such details. Today, I was sitting on my friend the tree, down by the river, and I noticed a curious skink, who was checking me out. Then I realized that we were the same color, only flipped. He was brown toward his head and blue on his tail, whereas I was wearing brown shorts and a blue top - the same blue as his tail. This afternoon I have two new lilies in the pond, and several blue dragonflies. I haven't spotted the yellow one today.
