Blueberry Dragonfly

  Picture a great dragonfly, with clear wings save two white spots, and a body the very color of a blueberry, complete with the grey-blue haze that rubs off when you pick or wash them, perching delicately on a neon purple stalk of tiny flowers, and you'll see what I did this morning when I went to survey my herb garden.

I found a little garden snake under a timber today; I transferred him to the garden, but I just saw another baby snake in the same spot near the timber-could it be him? Why not.
