I don't walk in the swamps unless Indy is with me. She's my protector. As I walked along the trail today, a little leopard frog suddenly leaped out of my way. I gave a startled "Ooh" and Indy was there immediately, jumping into the bushes after the frog. A little later on, I must have trespassed on a green darner dragonfly's territory because it flew up and buzzed me twice. Again I responded w/ a surprised "Ooh" and Indy was right at my side again. I explained it was a insect that attacked me but she just gave me a mystified look. I was taking a picture of honeysuckle when two Canadian Tiger Swallowtail butterflies flew out. No sound from me this time but Indy watched w/ me as the two butterflies noticed each other and started fighting. So you can understand when I might face leopards, tigers, or even dragons in the swamp, having Indy along makes me feel safe.
