Speaking of Dragonflies…

Yesterday I was lamenting the fact that this summer I have no plants in my pond. As a result, the dragonfly sighting have been few and far between.

Here is a past post from this day July 30th several years back. I used to spend hours trying to take a picture of the blue dasher that would skim the top of the fountain spray from the pond. I was amazed that I actually captured a picture of this action. The pictures in this post were taken long ago. I have better pictures of stationary dragonflies, however, this one of him skimming the top of the fountain is my favorite. I still like the poem I wrote about our daily interactions during this period of time.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2026. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
