Today's Dragonfly

 There appears to be a slight cooling trend happening in SoCal but it's not quite September and we natives know your tricks Mother Nature.

I thought I'd be going for a walk this morning but night becoming day became more complicated than the nature of consciousness. So I didn't.

Here are a few uncomplicated things that took place during the day, all of which made earlier events fade and become much easier to reconcile.

One, and there's no picture for this. I remained in place and joined in on the phone as Docken went walking in her locale. We had a pleasant conversation and never once discussed the nature of consciousness. Thank you, Dockie.

During a pause in that phone conversation, Stan showed up in the backyard. He had a late breakfast and hung out for quite some time. In fact, he was here for several hours and it's been awhile since that happened, probably the last time was in cooler climes again.

Then a little later this female California darner (Rhionaeschna californica) spent at least a couple of hours, that I know of, clinging to one of the screens on my office windows. This is what 60+ year old  wire screens look like, in case you were wondering.

 In the window directly to the left we have the lovely Lucy taking a bath.

Reaching for the light at the slightest noise from the floor
Palms of hands perspire heart goes leaping at a knock from the door
In the Dead of Night
