Dragonfly

I haven't seen a dragon fly in the garden before. I suppose the are around even though I don't see them. This one was resting on an unripe raspberry.

They say (on the internet), "the meaning of a dragonfly changes with each culture. The main symbolisms of the dragonfly are renewal, positive force and the power of life in general. Dragonflies can also be a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. Also, as a creature of the wind, the dragonfly frequently represents change. And as a dragonfly lives a short life, it knows it must live its life to the fullest with the short time it has - which is a lesson for all of us."

First Bounty

First raspberry taken on June 30th.  This is about two weeks later than last couple of years. I think due to the rainy and cold June that we've had.

The first blueberries also, taken on June 30th, from only one bush. I don't remember which kind of blue this is ... but it's one of the ones planted 2 yrs ago. The berries are big. The other 3 bushes have berries still in the making.

Today it's about 79, fair, breezy at 7:30 pm.
