About Me
- Rurality
- Living in rural north central Alabama. Currently overstocked with pets and poultry. Having lived in several small towns and larger cities, country life is taking some getting used to. A refugee from the corporate world since 1996, I'm the proprietor of a handmade soap company called Natural Impulse. The photo is of Jasmine, fearless protector of the homestead from coyotes, bobcats, deer, herons, airplanes, butterflies and fuzzy little bunnies. You can email me at blog (at) naturalimpulse.com.

He had met his end, so it was very easy to get a close-up.
A shame he's dead, but very pretty. Dragonflies are so interesting -- I only recently learned that some of them migrate long distances.
Thanks for the ID. Somewhere on this computer I have a shot of an amber with a blue and all the UF Gator fans in my house see it as gator colors.
One of my favorite dragonflies - I am firmly convinced they see themselves as giants.
I enjoyed the reference to Rumpelstiltskin.
What a beautiful creature. :)
