The coral garden

The coral reef by the back fence 27th Jan 2009
The coral of the outer reefs remain well visited.
Lace winged dragonflies continue to circumnavigate the green weed 'lawn area' before winging on sorties over the reef and the neighbours' flower laden picket fence beyond.
With my reading glasses I have begun to see/read the coral garden beds like a fisherman might read the ocean.
With my magnified lenses, I see the movement of predator fish - the spiders, prey mantus, and long legged metalic green flies that are hunting...
Visiting the Crepuscule I have begun seeing things I have not seen before.
It is north facing and attracts any number of predators and soft bodied food 'fish' alike.
Fish, how might one deduce or conjure and imagine such a vision?
Have you ever seen the long elongated finned gar fish that swim upon the surface, and the twisting silver sided skip jack and schools of herring?
And have you seen that coloured weed that hugs the pylons of the jetty and the small fish that circle them, around and around...
My mother's garden bed is visited in a similar way by all matter of winged and bright finned beings that follow unseen currents visiting the gardinia, bouganvillia, solanum where they sometimes sit and on the green soft leaves of the plumbago are lulled to sleep.
Here blue barred hover bees zoom and cut leaves for their underground nests.
Blue ended damselflies seek cover from the sun while crickets rest in their green leaf interiors while small glass like egg casings hug the underside of leaves.
The garden's a coral reef and any number of coloured fish and frogs are to be found there!
