Those bluets are beautiful, delicate creatures - familiar or not.<br /><br />As for the tunnel... *shakes head*<br />Typical example of question-dodging bureaucratic verbiage: <i>"The question is: Will the delay cost taxpayers? And how much?<br /><br />The answer is, no one really knows.<br /><br />"It's really going to depend on when we get to the end of the project and we look back what have we incurred what do we need to do. In all likelihood it will cost more than we originally projected," he says.</i><br /><br />sigh.Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553149188531956419.post-10852609206979828302014-10-19T19:43:20.844-04:002014-10-19T19:43:20.844-04:00Nice shots of the damselflies.Nice shots of the damselflies.Pathttp://bailey-road.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553149188531956419.post-6194991993353763842014-10-19T18:25:01.030-04:002014-10-19T18:25:01.030-04:00Yes, Alexia, there is an Unfamiliar Bluet:
