Getting Dive Bombed

  So the dogs get to take an adventure which started with a visit to a friends bunkhouse near Fort Davis that takes advantage of the cattle water tank as a swimming hole. So of course they had to check it out, march along the rim and get a cool drink. They just never expected to be attacked by the swarm of dragonflys while looking around. Did not phase Kimo much since he went swimming any way but Yodi got a little spooked and made a run for it. Guess the baying of all the cows had shook him up from the beginning.

Scary critters

If you look really closely at something you always see more than you expected. Does not matter what it is or how many times you have seen it. Small nuances, changes in light, differing moods, they all have an effect on what and how you see. The most enlightening seems to be taking a really close at small things. Macro like things. Bugs especially. Solves the riddle of where do they come up with the monsters in movies, especially the space aliens.
  Something as simple as a dragon fly that you can really take for granted. They never attack, have not been chased, stung or bitten by one in my life. But when you look really close at one those spins, and big eyes, veiny wings and all look pretty darn scary to me.
