Sometimes it can be hard to slow down and appreciate mother natures gifts to us, but this morning I was treated to a funny little water ballet by some water beetles in the creek behind our house. I was busy cutting the fields with the old Massey tractor that's about as old as me and trying to get it all done before I had to head to work, when I stopped by the creek to take a break. There I saw about ten little black water beetles flying across the surface and running in circles chasing each other. They seemed to float on the water. I watched them for a few minutes and was amazed at how they can live in the water like that. After a bit I was ready to get going again but the urgency of getting it all done before I left for work seemed to fade away and I really enjoyed the rest of my morning at home being out in the sun and cool breeze and the smell of fresh cut grass.
