Magical Moment

Magical places are always beautiful and deserve to be contemplated ... Always stay on the bridge between the invisible and the visible.

~  Paulo Coelho

Dragonfly captured in flight over the pond at the Izaak Walton Park

It's ALWAYS magical to catch a dragonfly in flight - and the bokeh over the pond was an added bonus! 

Great Blue Heron Stalks a Dragon

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time. 

 ~Attributed to Zig Ziglar

I watched this Great Blue Heron for over an hour one day.  He kept "snapping" his beak at things..... I realized when I got home and downloaded the shots that he was eating the dragonflies.  It looks like he has his "eye on the prize" above.  Do you see the "dragon" flying to the left of him?

Dragonfly In Flight

How quick and rushing life can sometimes seem, when at the same time it's so slow and sweet and everlasting.
