Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Dear Chilukuri Bhuvaneswar, I did set of to take the pictures you wished for twice this summer. The first time we started too late, the second time we were also late because the ferryman wanted to eat his dinner before taking us. I tried to reach the pond called Bigpond, but we got stuck in traffic from a football match and we had to turn as the sun was setting. I did get a map and a good description of the way from a girl in a petrol station. So today the sun was shining and as I hate to give up I went back to see if I could find anything. After some searching I found the pond the girl pointed out on the map, a streetmap with no names on the ponds and lakes, and it was disappointing. Only two white waterlilies and some empty bottles. But this dragonfly was there. A teacher passing by with his class told me it was the next pond further into the forest, so I went there. This pond was very long, with no flowers at all. I asked another man and he gave me the direction still further on. At one point I found a sign telling the way and 2,2 km to go. After a while I got suspicious and luckily I met somebody picking blueberries, they told me I was on the wrong path, the pond was behind the sign : ). So I found the pond. This is in an area where I have never been before and it is very beautiful. The pond had a lot of dragonflies in all colours and sizes I have not seen anything like this anywhere, and a lot of white lilies too, so it was it was not a waste of time. I did walk along the whole pond down past the last bend as it would be silly to leave without searching every inch of this pond. And of course they had to be there, as only a fool would have travelled so far without knowing. They are growing from the same root, the only one with red flowers in this country. The Norwegian university has tested and found they are not a hybrid, but created by nature alone. I will send some close-ups tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 To Seer Al and Chilukuriji: I am so touched by this. By both of you. By Chilu-ji's requests and his endearing posts leading up to this blessing upon his endeavor. By Al's beautiful gestures as much as his beautiful photos. It is said that the third time is a charm, and even more so today that you should find this most beautiful hidden treasure, guided by the Heart to exactly the one location in the entire country where they can be found :-) Wednesday's flower Is full of grace. Amazing Grace...growing from the same root...never two, only One. "I did walk along the whole pond down past the last bend as it would be silly to leave without searching every inch of this pond.
