"The Cormorant, the Dragonfly, and the Bee" is the title of my site because they were my first inspiration from the animal kingdom. Shown are my favorite images of these three since I started blogging in 2015.

Preparing for the Plunge

Not your Regular House Fly
Here's a playful poem about us:
Phil the Photographer, with his camera in hand,
Strolled by the river, in a garden so grand.
He met a cormorant, a dragonfly, and a bee,
They all became friends, so happy you see.
The cormorant posed, with wings spread wide,
The dragonfly hovered, with grace and with pride.
The honey bee buzzed, from flower to flower,
And Phil captured it all, in that magical hour.
The river flowed gently, the flowers swayed,
Phil clicked away, his camera displayed.
He captured their beauty, their joy, their glee,
They all became friends, happy as can be.
So if you’re ever by a river or garden so fair,
Look for Phil the Photographer, with his camera to share.
For he’ll capture your moments, your laughter and fun,
You’ll all become friends, under the bright shining sun.

Note that there are some damselflies shown too; I consider them dragonflies, though I've learned they are different.
