Morning Dew: Tomato Crab Meat Omelet with Buttered Veggies on the Side



My dog, Keira, woke me up with her little barks weeping to have playtime with me. I put her on her leash so I could walk her out to the nearby park. Today’s tranquil morning was covered in thick blanket of fog and still dark while we walked along.

The green grass was wet with droplets of morning dew when dawn broke over the park from last night's sudden outbreak of rain showers. I let Keira play while I watched the people around. There were two old people brisk walking in the park and group of youngsters doing aerobic exercises. 

Dew-covered dragonfly staying motionless on a flower glittered like diamond jewels in the morning sunshine captured Keira's attention and was straining at its leash trying to get at it. At first glance, it looks like a sweet confectionery - a sugary crumb dreamed up to attract those with a sweet tooth ...and my little Keira was really captivated. The moment I cupped my hands to catch the multi-colored dragonfly resting upon the petals of vibrant wildflower were drops of morning dew still linger on its leaves was refreshingly breathtaking.  There were tiny drops covering the dragonfly's body that appears to by crystallized by the morning dew. The tiny droplets of water increased the dragonfly’s beauty and revealed the full details of bright orange, red, green and blue. It’s like an insignia or a jeweled brooch. I was amazed of how the simplest creature that we often take for granted is a holder of such an extreme beauty. Sometimes, we just need to stop for a while to appreciate life's simple pleasures.

The morning turned out lovely as the light shines through. I let the dragonfly free and I watched it fly away from me. Of course, I won't let this glorious day be spoiled. Here, I made a bountiful breakfast for you.
