I was sitting on the patio this morning sipping my coffee when I saw this beautiful dragonfly grab and eat an insect midair. Wish I was faster with my phone camera, it would have made a great picture.
One less bug in my backyard. I like that kind of natural pest control.
When I was taking this picture I was a couple of inches away from this praying mantis. We were both in shock after it jumped on my head. I got lucky and I got a picture.
Over the July 4th weekend my husband and I were sitting on the patio enjoying a cup of coffee when a dragonfly came around. He or she comes by often, and flies really close to where we sit. I always talk to it as if it understands what I’m saying.
This time it landed on one of our lanterns and my husband said you should try to pick it up.
I thought for a quick second and then I grabbed my trusty iPhone, and this is what happened…
As I was waiting for this video to upload I went back outside to get up and move around. As soon as I walked out the door my dragonfly friend came around. I got him on video. He let me pick him up again. I think I really do have a new friend.
I’m also thankful for my wonderful hubby John, for providing me with the music. He stopped the music project he was working on to quickly record a bit of peaceful music for my video on my little blog. OXOXOX
Having coffee on the patio and this little guy was moving along. I thought why not take a pic for Wordless Wednesday.
