First Sun After Deluge upon Deluge

The light woke me.

But I didn't mind.

First sun after deluge upon deluge and the world feels new.

A quick trip to Lake Cheston's beach proved I was not the only sun worshipper today. The air shimmered with Blue Dashers, Slaty Skimmers, Widow Skimmers, Calico Pennants, Banded Pennants, Black Saddlebags, Carolina Saddlebags, Swamp Spreadwings, and several Common Green Darners.

I pursued one pair from dirt shore to sandy shore and back and managed a few distant photos.


Happy, I went to the shop, where twice -- on trips to the garbage -- an Eastern Pondhawk female buzzed me as if to say, "Isn't sunshine life-filling?"

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.
