In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer – Albert Camus
Today was a seriously snowy day. Ridiculous driving. All the things that one tends to not love about winter.
And so, a summer memory. Sitting on the dock with a friend and taking photos of dragonflies.
Or weeks?
Today I saw the dragonfly
Come from the wells where he did lie
An inner impulse rent the veil
Of his old husk; from head to tail
Came out clear plates of sapphire mail
He dried his wings; like gauze they grew
Thro’ crofts and pastures wet with dew
A living flash of light he flew.
Tennyson
It’s so helpful to have an entomologist in the family to identify the interesting insects I come across.
The spider’s touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line. – Alexander Pope
On the weekend my camera began giving me trouble and tonight I found out that it will take 3-8 weeks to repair. I told the clerk at the store that not having my camera was like losing a part of me…which is dramatic I know. Yet I had great plans for my photography in this my summer of no commitments.
One of the challenges will be keeping my blog going. I will ponder this wrinkle and decide the way forward.
Stay tuned!
Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain and feel the wind. – Ashley Smith
