I love to have my little fishing trips with the kids, (often taken at the end our our street) The kids have these cute little fishing rods – Star Wars and Barbie style :D They do really well at being patient too, it’s great time to hang out and just enjoy the great outdoors! The end of the day…topped off with a full moon! (Bobber shot taken with point and shoot Casio camera, Moon shoot: f 2.8 1/3sec ISO 400 16-35mm Canon L lens )
Dragon Fly’s are amazing, they are this fairly large flying insect, and they don’t sting or bite you, they simply make a rather odd sound as they buzz around looking beautiful! Their wings are incredible though, seeing the beauty in their detail. Here are a couple of interesting facts if found out about these little creatures:
A bee flaps its wings about 300 times per second, but a dragonfly flaps its wings at only about 30 beats per second. (fact, dragonflies have two sets of wings so they don’t have to beat them as much to fly.)
A dragonfly’s eyes have about 30,000 lenses and a dragonfly can see all the way around it, but they don’t see details very well. (fact, a human eye only has one lens and sees better than a dragonfly, but only to the front and side of them.)
It was time for the bus and the kids had to take one last peek at the little flowers growing at the side of the house. Suddenly my little girl comes up to me and informs me that the crocuses with the little sprinkles of water on them would make a nice picture – what can I say, when she’s right she’s right! Thanks for your help today Amy!
