Glimpse

Female Common Grackle
Something so common, like a bird on my car in the parking lot, can be some of the most fragile and perfect moments during the day.  Most just walk right by without really taking the time to observe.
Or the simple "ducks taking flight" from the water can relax the mind and inspire creative thinking.
And while not all shots on camera may be perfect, they are still lovely to recollect.
Within every moment, a gem hides waiting to be discovered.
A pause.  A brief moment.  A glance upwards.  Downwards. And behind reveal greater things.
But careful where you tread because you never know who will come your way.
But most certainly something is bound to glow and catch your attention.....even if it's just a glimpse.

Las Libélulas

Flame Skipper
I have many favorite words in Spanish.  Today, here's one of them.  "Lee-bay-loo-lah".  Now go ahead, say it outloud. It's fun, isn't it?  It's your Spanish word for the day and our photo theme.  Some of us love getting pics of birds or butterflies or people.....but the one thing I think I've seen in almost everyone's post is the magic of a dragonfly.  It's the one unifying factor of the blogger world.  No matter how hard I try not to film them, it always seems to backfire.......because quite simply, they are amazing.  These shots were taken from June up until now.  For more fun info on them, check out Jill's post on their historical significance with people.
