SPACE

A very close up shot of a huge star that's a gazillion miles away 

and the particles that float around out  

in the universe above us.

Actually,

about 11:30 last night I took the dogs out one last time

and noticed something moving in the pool.

Upon closer inspection I discovered it was a

huge freaking unhappy junebug on it's back.

I greatly dislike junebugs...

but he was no threat since he was obviously stuck.

(which is exactly what he deserved

because he's a creepy junebug...and I took no

concern for his feelings when telling him so)

Anyway...I carefully stretched out across the diving board to get

close enough to snap a picture of the
 perfectly stuck bug with my phone.
.

The above photo is what I got.....it looks nothing like a junebug.
.

As I laid there flat on my stomach...hanging off the

edge of the diving board...leisurely looking at my phone..

 caring not for the bug that was in distress,

I began to hear a small faint splashing.

To my horror, I quickly realized that the flash from

 my phone had surprised the bug just enough

to cause him to turn his large ugly wings up from the

water. After a few seconds of strenuous flapping

he lifted straight up and was now hovering a

 little more than a foot away in front of me.
.

It was an instant flurry of  bad words, arms waving and

a rather pathetic attempt to scoot backwards

off the diving board without falling in. 

(If you didn't have a visual...I'm sure you will now..
I no doubt looked like an inchworm in reverse)
.

Besides a few "colorful" expressions that I tend

to say during unpleasant situations...

I had only 2 coherent thoughts: 

Don't drop the phone in the pool.

and

Please God dont' let it land in my hair.
(yes, in that order)

.

 Once I was upright I scolded the vile bug for being so cruel.

In his amazingly irritating little hissing bug voice

he simply smiled & said....karma...and then flew into the night.
