~~ ON THE WING ~~


Sauntering slowly and listening with intent 
Jim and I head into the park


ending up at the pond 
just 5 minutes into the park
filled with
WINGS
flitting every where


this amazing creature with
4 wings
1/2 transparent and 1/2 chocolate brown


the pond water was so still mirror-like
with hundreds of speedy dragonflies
dodging each other and us


Do you see the double attached dragonflies 
on the right-hand side with the reflection below?
Such is the speed I was telling you about.
No one was sitting still for our cameras today.


So close these 2 were,
I suspect they were mating


After leaving and returning to
 MacDonald Hill
for fresh cool air
this seagull soared by
heading across the expanse
into the mist.


Wings of all sorts today!
Someday I will fly on the breezes like
all my winged friends!
