Indeed! Nice 'old' poem. Am always on the look-out for "dust-free
blackberries". I had to look up 'shot-silk' in the wiki as I'd never heard
the term before. Turns out I'd been admiring it all my life and never
knew what it was called. Later, I asked my wife and she replied instantly,
amazed at my ignorance. (I guess this was a notable deficit as usually
she isn't even amazed.) But anyway, now that I know, I think it's a
great description. I love dragonflies. There are many down here in
Baytown, Texas. I have three waterlily "ponds" (actually livestock
watering troughs) and they just love them. They have this amazing
mating dance, ever seen it?

all this useless beauty... but what the hell, why not?
