Dragonflies and Wild Lilies

There are often new discoveries lakeside.  I adore having a lake so close that I can go for a five minute escape, a pleasant prayer walk, or an afternoon of lazing at the water's edge letting my thoughts stir and drift echoing off the ripples of renewing breezes.

This is what I found today:

The lilies are a welcome and bold mix in the brown and green backdrop.

These two jolly friends were flapping and fluttering in their double figure eights like CCO dragonfly playmates having come out to play (remember that hand game?).  Very cute together.  I waited for them to take a break so I could catch them on camera.

So beautiful.
