Why do you laugh?

It’s been a challenging week with the rain, the heat and the flooding.

I refuse to complain for as I write this post I’m watching about the famine in Somalia…and it breaks my heart.

It breaks my heart….

as I throw food out every week and there is someone out there who could thrive on it.

All whining aside, I did have a moment this morning as I was feeling sorry for myself…so absorbed in the issues of the moment.

I was taking a piece of mail outside and I found this little dragonfly posing for me on a planter post.

STOP!

Hold that pose….

allow me to go inside and grab my camera….

He granted me that right as I grabbed my camera only to be surprised by the condensation building up on my lens which made it impossible to take a photo.

OH WAIT!

Wrong lens!

Let me go inside and get the right lens to shoot you…

Really, I’m coming…

DANG!

condensation again on my lens coming from the air conditioning to the humidity of outside…

Could you…

Would you….

mind waiting a bit longer?

I really want to take a picture of you….

You laugh!

Why do you laugh?

You laugh because I’m trying to calm down and I’m afraid you’ll fly away…

and you know you won’t….

You laugh because I look like a damn fool with my foggy lenses…

But you stay and you laugh…
