We always thoroughly enjoy your photos and news in the world of nature. We’ve had several butterflies on our flowers but enjoyed seeing the one in Florida. What a beauty!
I spent the morning gathering wild cranberries. With water levels low and the warmth seductive, it was a pleasure to be in this wild shoreline. Checking my digital world, I was happy to read your essay. You always help me reflect on the small things to appreciate. This morning the aphid dustballs were flying, meadow hawks were mating, and a lone loon was fishing nearby. I was so glad to be alive. Reading your post reinforced those feelings. As always, thank you.
Stunning dragonfly Bryan!
And those pennants do like to pose for photos!

Thanks, Sarah and Dayton. What a day today in Vermont!

How lovely! Thanks, Sue. And what a treat it is to find joy among the prosaic — as you often do.
You found a Halloween Pennant in the snow! I'm stunned and delighted.
As for the extra hour, well I'm *frayed* I'm going to fret around the clock for the next week or more, no matter what o'clock we're on.
It does look like snow, but it is white sand in Florida. 😀 Maybe we can do both? Fret some AND find grace and respite in nature?
Oh ha ha ha, that one totally fooled me. Yes, I think we're on the same page for worry and reverence.
To learn about woolly aphids is to learn how to find fairies.
