Hello Monday. There's a song sung by Mary Chapin Carpenter with a line, "Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug," written by Mark Knopfler. While I was at Cedar Creek Dam Access Area yesterday, I had help in noticing this lizard had captured a damselfly for its Sunday dinner. I had been photographing the damselfly and turned around to look at something else and - WHAM! The lizard got it. I never even saw the lizard before this. Since lizards don't always have to have legs, some ways to tell if they are a lizard versus a snake is if they have eyelids and external ears. Lizards can actually smell! They smell by sticking their tongues out and "tasting" the air. I am not quite sure how that equates to "smelling", but you can find out more about lizards on http://www.bioexpedition.com/lizards/facts-about-lizards/ if you're interested.
But now, it looks like the lizard is "the windshield" and the damselfly is "the bug". I guess that's the circle of life. It also looks as though the lizard may have bitten off more than it could chew, which is sometimes how I feel on Mondays. I always start of with great hope that I can accomplish all that needs to be done on Monday and then, at some point in the day, I realize that I was wrong. And, like that little damselfly, I get eaten up by Monday. But, unlike that little damselfly, I do live to fight another day.
How was your Monday? Were you the "windshield" - or the "bug"? Were you the "munchie" or the "muncher"? I hope your Monday was marvelous! Thank you for looking. See you tomorrow.
