Damselfly or Watershield?
I can't work out if this is a photo of a damselfly or of a watershield leaf - or is it both?
The bold coloration of this leaf, together with the water droplet, drew my attention to it as I kayaked in a secluded cove. As I approached, I noticed a damselfly landing on it, but reckoned it wasn't worth rushing to capture it while I fished my camera out of my dry bag. The leaf in and of itself was exquisite and worth a shot anyway. My first 2 captures were damselfly-less, but then it returned to the bright leaf again as I sat there!
I wonder if it too, was attracted by the color ...

Dreams of Bowie
David Bowie is alive and well - in my mind ... just in case you thought I'd forgotten about my hero!
Last night's dream was so pleasant and wonderful (and not in a lewd or erotic way) - I met Bowie at a small show he was trying to put on (on the stage at the Science Museum in Boston), but one of his actors was missing. I hadn't bought a ticket, but offered to fill in for the missing person. He and I managed to ad lib and dance together - it was part of 'the script' - (in that old fashioned, ballroom hold kind of way) that was so casual and sweet and normal. We chatted and connected, and I wasn't tongue-tied like a silly fan-girl, either! But I did tell him "this is the best night of my life" and he understood, smiling shyly! He was charming, humble and gracious, as expected 😍
It was like watching a movie of myself, living a fantasy.
Ahh, the psyche is a funny thing ...

Bunchberry Love
Look at how gorgeous the (native) bunchberry fruit is against the exquisite green leaves. It is, as you can see from the distinctive venation, in the dogwood family.
