Description

Hello, BP'er's! A short note to let you know I've been sidelined with a fractured ankle. A long road of healing and PT in the future but I'll be back when I can. In the meantime, hope you all enjoy your summer photography...and be careful out there... :)

From The Fuller Gardens at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens - a blue dasher dragonfly and water lily.
