From Tracie: A Patient Visitor

A Patient Visitor

This weekend, we had a visitor come by our home.

He stopped by the door and waited.

No loud knocking for him; he just waited for us to come out and find him.

Then he stayed there patiently while I grabbed my camera and got a couple of shots.

When I was done, he quietly flew away.

Dragonfly

I have really enjoyed participating in the Happiness Project. Looking for moments of joy and capturing them with my camera to share with y'all. Today, Leigh is starting the second year of the Happiness Project with a new name, 52 Weeks of Happiness.




   What is making you happy today?

  4. Look at those wings... so amazing to me. I love to get close to bugs & watch how they work... so incredible to see such a tiny body working - a real brain, system that works - mind blowing.

  10. Stunningly beautiful dragonfly friend. We have dragonflies of every imagine color at our place in NOwheresville, TX. And fireflies. I wish I had your photographic talent to capture them, because they're magnificent.

  12. Such a lucky moment...he's stunning.

    We had a dragonfly that hung around our house for a while. He would rest on my husband's car antenna So, we named him Antenna.

    I loved him.
