My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Not a big thing, but wouldnt 43 in Roman Numerals be expressed as XLIII?.

Nice graphics, btw

Carry on :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Yup, seems you’re correct, thanks.

[Soaring Feather]

Goodnight everyone,
Dream a little~Love a lot....

[NY Attitude]

Good night Soaring Feather.

Sleepy time is nigh
and Soaring Feather soars high
to a romantic and exoctic place
that puts a smile upon her face

Rest Well

[WayzataJOHNN]

Touch the soul of a poet
and you find pain
and joy,
and life in many colors
experiences good and sad,
hard and easy,
blended into a whole
not quite complete
but near enough to feel

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.

[Lady Jag]

Dancing Cats! Whoopee!

[tomkow6]

I’d rather see FIGHTNG Cats, than Dancing cats!

[Lady Jag]

[MEG33]

Happy Monday!

[Lady Jag]

Saloon Dance

[MEG33]

ROFLOL!

[WayzataJOHNN]

The canyon wall is fired in orange and red
while the canyon depths are cool shadows here
and as night draws nigh I see the silent deer
coming from the brush where they made their bed

Sandstone gold in the evening sunset
reflected in a pool as clear as the very air
wherein twinkle a sea of stars so truly fair
and I welcome night well loved as met

[WayzataJOHNN]

Yep thats my naughty cat! Gonna have to cut back on the catnip shooters again!!!!

[Lady Jag]

[Soaring Feather]

I've never been in Montana land
although I heard it's truly grand
with miles and miles of unspoiled land
like in the days when you were a youth
you ran with the wind, and played on the range
became a cowboy most grand.

[Soaring Feather]

Ah, nice show of cats lady, love this Saloon Dance.

[WayzataJOHNN]

Montana, at least to those who lived there
its a place of open spaces and oft good folk
I miss it so, but can’t afford to live there now
the economy is artificial and low pay is no joke
yet it calls me and I hear it sad but fair

The mountains I knew are still mighty and tall
the plains filled with wheat and grass that wave
where you see the herds of range wise beef cows
that image I would forever hold close to save
for I hear the unforgettable but distant call

[WayzataJOHNN]

BAD KITTY (BANG)

That is my catnip not yours! You ate yours, and now you want mine? You’re becoming a nip-a-holic! I’m putting you on cold turkey! (that’s cheaper then catnip anyway.)

[Seadog Bytes]

[Seadog Bytes]

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning evryone.

[Lady Jag]

I'll trade you...

[NY Attitude]

Good morning everyone. What a bright and beautiful morning it is. The birds are chirping outside the window and of course Calli is doing her best to charm them to come closer for inspection.

[NY Attitude]

Great picture.

[Lady Jag]

The cat prefers Bird’s while mine is Chivas.

[NY Attitude]

Smart cat. Good choice.

[Lady Jag]

[Lady Jag]

Yeah, my OD on gin turned me off to it big time so the cat gets it all.

[NY Attitude]

Love the graphic.

[NY Attitude]

I can relate to that. As a young sailor (18 yo), I went on liberty in Mobile, Ala. Drank it without a mix or chaser. Needless to say my impending doom and a severe hangover. To this day, I cannot stand the smell of Gin.

[Lady Jag]

Thanks, I save the flying graphics for The Lair.

[Lady Jag]

I was 17 and drank a fifth at an underage party. Hallucinated. Fortunately one of the girls was daughter to a nurse and knew what to do. Like you, I can’t stand to be within smelling distance of the stuff.

[ScubieNuc]

Thank you Feather for your greetings. They are so pure and gentle. I’m in a tough spot right now and any spark of something good gives me some hope. If you are a spiritual person, please pray for me.

Scubie

[WayzataJOHNN]

We’re a rather large and perhaps slightly crazy family here, you have prayers winging your way my friend.

[WayzataJOHNN]

Here Kitty, kitty, kitty. Uncle Johnn has a nice bag of fresh ‘nip for ya! Just set that bottle over here and have a nice roll on the sun with this catnip!

(I can trade the Gin for a bit of the Irish single malt and every body is a winner)

[WayzataJOHNN]

Dark sweet red merlot wine
lit by the light of sunset
and the love of good friends
around a crackling bonfire

Of such things I never tire
no matter how my life bends
I take each single day as met
and make it completely mine

[Soaring Feather]

Oh dear friend, of course, prayers are offered.

May whatever darkness shadows you
be lifted for the light to shine through.

Hang on to your belief, we are here for you.

I have been thinking about you and thought since Fall is upon us - your camping season must be over. Good to see you. ;0)

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Lady, have a great day and class tonight. *HUGS*

Wonderful graphic.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi ya, NYA, how goes things, you back to work, do we need another Muppet song?? *GRINS*

[MEG33]

Happy Tuesday To The Lair
Cooler weather on the way here! 61 degree low predicted for tomorrow.

[Soaring Feather]

oh beautiful graphic, thank you.

Hi Meg, cooler weather here too, moved in this afternoon. I was out for an errand the temp was nearly 80F, I have just nicely gotten home when thunder and lightning rolled in with rain, temps now at 60F going to 50 tonight. This is normal for this time of year here, fifties or lower.Just checked your message again sounds like our temps are about the same.

[MEG33]

I think I’ll take advantage and do the ground cover trimming tomorrow before it really warms up. I am glad you made home before the rain hit..I’d enjoy a nice rain here..right after I weed whack the ground cover.

[NY Attitude]

Thanks for the offer of a Muppet Song. 8^) I am back at the grind. Surprisingly, the amount of growth that occurred in my in-basket. All of course have a very short response time.

[ScubieNuc]

Thank you.

Scubie

[ScubieNuc]

Thank you for your prayers.

Yes, camping is done until January, when I’ll do a little winter survival camping.

Went out West through the Bad Lands, the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, and Yellowstone. Saw some beautiful country. The gypsy spirit in me says “Chuck it all, and go live out in the Mountains.” While that may be fun for me, it wouldn’t be so fun for my family.

This doesn’t exactly relate to anything above, but I’ve been thinking of speech given by Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden. He said something along the lines of “without adversity, you can’t build character.” He said something about “you show me someone who hasn’t faced much adversity, I’ll show you someone who doesn’t have much character.” What he was talking about wasn’t just facing it, but fighting through it while maintaining your goals and standards.

Right now, the idea of maintaining a certain character, is just feeling a bit too much. It’s in times like this I have to just take my days one minute at a time.

Well, thanks for listening. Sorry for the pity-party. I’ve called the Whaaampulance, and they should be by soon. (^;

[Seadog Bytes]

YOU too, LJ!

I suppose you folks already saw this, huh?... ('Dragonflies' to a whole new level?) ...I HOPE they're 'OURS'! ...LOL

Spy Flies All the Buzz at Washington, N.Y. Political Events

Tuesday, October 09, 2007

 The Washington Post

Ever wish you could be a "fly on the wall" at a closed-door meeting or to hear a foe’s secrets?

Enter the robobug.

Witnesses are buzzing about recent sightings of robotic-looking dragonflies seen at Washington and New York political events. And U.S. government and private agencies have admitted to striving for the spy technology, The Washington Post reports, though no one has confessed to deploying the bugged bugs.

• Click here to read the full story in The Washington Post.

"They looked kind of like dragonflies or little helicopters," New York college student Vanessa Alarcon said after seeing the dragonflies while working at an antiwar rally in Lafayette Square last month.

The U.S. has used robotic fliers as early as World War II, but their numbers were fewer and the technology more primitive.

[Soaring Feather]

He said something along the lines of “without adversity, you can’t build character.” He said something about “you show me someone who hasn’t faced much adversity, I’ll show you someone who doesn’t have much character.” What he was talking about wasn’t just facing it, but fighting through it while maintaining your goals and standards.

Well, IMHO this is true. Some times, our character is shaped by the adversity. What say you??


Oh lucky you, and the places you visited this Summer. Terrific!
We have a few really terrific guys here, they have a good perspective on life, stick around and chat with them.
