Our tiny world ... is fascinating

An old name for damselflies was 'Devil's Darning Needles'. This stems from an old myth that if you went to sleep by a stream on a summer's day, damselflies would use their long, thin bodies to sew your eyelids shut. Naturally there is no truth in the myth; similar myths are found throughout the world.

I visited the grounds of our new Velodrome and the security guard let me use the bicycle path for my blips.  A pond, an abundance of flowers and a light breeze was perfect.  Very high security for the PanAm Games.     The two extras were interesting little guys as well.
