Generally they are gentle around humans. They are actually good creatures to have around because they hunt mosquitoes and biting flies.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-34427743330479706762010-06-10T05:36:42.344-05:002010-06-10T05:36:42.344-05:00Do dragon flies sting?Do dragon flies sting?Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"http://www.karenzemek.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-33705760397966251282010-06-09T23:35:45.114-05:002010-06-09T23:35:45.114-05:00These are just breathtakingly gorgeous, peaceful v...These are just breathtakingly gorgeous, peaceful views. Kind of makes me a little sad that I'm an indoor-only kitty. Except that there's nothing quite that peaceful within strolling distance... but there ARE a lot of coyotes.

Very few people knew about and it gave me a place of peace and reflection. <br /><br />There was a river with a waterfall at the spot where I would sit. But, what was amazing was the quiet. Very strange in today's world to have only the sounds of nature about you. <br /><br />One of my favorite days was when I was sitting looking over the river and I saw movement next to me. A nest of turtles had begun to hatch and make their way to the river. Truly amazing.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories.Ken Brownhttp://www.adgitize.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-11147215763920908252010-06-09T08:46:20.768-05:002010-06-09T08:46:20.768-05:00That spot reminds me of one of our natural rivers ...That spot reminds me of one of our natural rivers in the Sacramento Valley.
