Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
~Dr. Seuss
As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others.
~Robert H. Schuller
About the quotes: As I grow older I am learning to accept and recognize my own uniqueness and the uniqueness of others - and I celebrate it!
About the images: These images were taken July 17, 2011 - Heritage Park, Blacksburg, VA. I believe this is a mayfly - but I am not positive on that. What the pictures don't show very well are the little "tails" at the end. These were the first I've ever seen of this creature - a "life bug" for me :)
Took my breath away, the 2nd picture.... oh my stars... the wings are so beautiful. You need to fram this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible pictures!! What a phenomenal creature! Just look at those layers of wings! I've never seen one of these either. You are an awesome talent with that camera, girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI am curious about what kind of camera and zoom you use. I've been trying to decide which camera to invest a bit of money in. :)
ReplyDeleteGosh ~ this little insect is almost see-thru! Excellent captures. We have ones like these too though a little darker. Their 'tails' are kind of neat!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday Kerri!

What an amazing looking creature. Glad you were able to bet some great photos of it!

ReplyDeleteWow, very nice photos!
ReplyDeleteKerri, these are outstanding images. Yes, I see the tail at the end! But I'm glad the focus was on the face and wings. What a great shot!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and finally at age 50, I'm learning to accept myself and my limitations (as well as those of others), but also celebrate my strengths. I wouldn't go back to my 20s for anything.
