Last week I was at the dog park, hanging from a bar, stretching out my back. I let go of the bar and was walking away when a dragonfly started flying around me curiously. The sun was shining and it was sparkling right in front of my face, it was pretty magical. Then suddenly - crunch - a bluejay swooped down from a branch above and snapped up the dragonfly in its beak. The circle of life cut my magical moment short. lol
On another note, I have now spotted a real live crayfish in the river twice! I took a fabulous video a few mornings ago and I will post it below.
The other day, I met a woman named Carmen, a retired archeologist, walking with her impressively old chihuahuas (19 and 14). She told me that Stanley Park in New Edinburgh used to be an industrial area and that there used to be an ink bottle factory there! Apparently there is a local historian who gives an excellent walk on the topic. Unfortunately I just missed the most recent walk. I will have to keep my eyes and ears open for the next one. Exciting!
