[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 690628, member: 17461"] I am reading [U]Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs: The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe.[/U] It's non-fiction, and a little bit of a hard read, so I am re-reading Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurty, too. I love that book, and that writer. It is good to have daytime books, and books to read before sleep. A beautiful day here. I am (I think I am) doing the groundwork for a new rock garden today. (Every plant survived the Weed & Feed. Yay! They all were set back by it, but are coming back so beautifully.) I am wearing my glasses more often, now. :) In the cycles of nature we are so aware of here, dragonflies are soon to emerge from the water. They will molt the nymph form a final time once they are on dry land, and emerge as dragonflies. Thinking about that last week, I looked for a YouTube to share here. I think I will look for one anyway and share it here, but in my YouTube explorations, I learned that the mosquito-eating dragonflies I always thought were so amazing are voracious hunters during the aquatic phases of their lives, too. [I]Of fish.[/I] That is pretty freaking voracious, you guys. The dragonflies here are bigger than the damselflies shown in this video. When we first moved here, and there were all these cast off, multiple-legged forms clinging to everything, I believed them to have come from spiders. Big ones. :eek: Here is the video. Have a nice day and evening, everyone. Cedar [MEDIA=youtube]iBs07KbRY3w[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
