Scary

Well, may be. Not for me though. I'm intrigued by the creature.. but ja, I'm intrigued by a lot of things/creatures that are able to fly (in general).

I dislike insects.  I used to try to kill 'em whenever I saw them, but I've started leaving them alone.  It's not their fault they're bugs.  Spiders eat them anyway, and who am I to deprive a noble predator of lunch?

^ Dislike quite a few insects myself. Fruit flies, other types of flies, mosquitoes, et cetera, etc..

But, dragonflies, like spiders, are predatory animals and thus are 'useful' in my perception. Not a bug, or a bugger, therefore, they are.

Wished to post the following secly but was warned (in red) that a new reply was posted before I could post this..

I saw a young (Eur.) red squirrel running in the street this afternoon. Cute little fella and the colour of its fur always strikes me (for some reason). It's like fox-red but three touches deeper brown-ish. Consider the colour quite beautiful.

It ran in front of me.. me slowing down² on my bike.. away from me, towards a tree and the youngster climbed its stem a bit clumsy. I could hear the little squirrel's paws grabbing the tree's bark. Nice. I like these little encounters with 'wild' animals.

Finally caught the creature on camera. Grote glazenmaker, we call them. Biggest dragonfly (up to 80mm) in this neck of the woods. Fascinating insects, I find them.

(picture was shot in the garden)

  Shit, look at that!  It's a helicopter!  :o

I was having a look at a brown grasshopper today, when it decided to have a closer look at me. It sat on the rim of my reading glasses for a couple of minutes.

  All kinds of animals love the little Dutch cow!  They sense her sweetness!   :hyke:

Sometimes just doing something is the right thing.  No procrastination, deep thinking, elaborate ritual.  Just doing it.

  I read this on another site and liked it:  "Motivation is procrastination."   :thumbup:

Saw two V-formations of geese flying quite low above me 15 minutes ago. They were heading south. That's quite early, I'm thinking now.

Having geese flying over in formation for a couple of weeks now, already. Yes, it is quite early. There are still swallows and peewits around.
