I seem to be photographing the dragonflies each day, primarily because it allows me to closely observe them. They are fascinating creatures which, odd as it may seem, appear to have personalities.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002454922784880258.post-31069989388977884232010-07-24T14:36:47.642-04:002010-07-24T14:36:47.642-04:00Fabulous shots, George.. ..

I'm delighted that my efforts have inspired you to start your own blog, which I plan to visit, read, and follow. In a very short period, my blog has led to rewarding friendships with many in the blogging community, both in this country and abroad, and I'm sure that yours will yield similar results.

Seeing what you have done with words and images inspired me to begin a blog, Wake Up Call. Visit at lindalouwakeupcall.blogspot.com. I am posting now about a pilgrimage I took to Iona, Scotland in June. Thanks for the creative nudge.
