sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

On our recent visit to the Bug exhibit at California Academy of Science, we were amazed to learn the intricacy of dragonfly wings. Each little part plays a special function. After seeing this, I appreciate them a little more. I don’t know how I’d feel about seeing a close up of a cockroach anatomy however.

The best thing about bugs is their lack of self consciousness, also the ability to fly doesn’t hurt.”

    So cool 😎
    I wish I lived closer to the academy of science. It’s such a great museum! I’ve only been there twice.

      It’s such a great museum to visit! We love going there except the drive going there and back poops us out.

    I’m reminded of the expression “on gossamer wings”.

      Wow Linda, I didn’t even know an expression like that existed. Nice…looked it up and it’s a great one.

        Glad you liked it Esther. I remember seeing the poem years ago and now seeing dragonflies flitting around or at rest, I am reminded of the expression.
