"The graceful curves of the daylilies interlaced with wild grasses and set against
the still waters of the pond reminded me of a Japanese screen.  The dragonflies
were using the daylilies as vantage points to watch for insect prey.  They
always seemed to me like noble warriors of the air… slender,
alert and agile." - Robert Bateman

“More and more I find myself concerned with heritage. This may be because the entire
thrust of the 20th century has been to demolish heritage, both natural and human.

My own family and family heritage are very important to me, and so when I visited my
father’s homestead in Eastern Ontario, I asked if I could have a clump of daylilies from
the old family garden. I transplanted these to our log cabin by the pond in Haliburton
County. They are now thriving and spreading and continuing the generational link.
Their graceful curves interlaces with wild grasses and set against the still waters
of the pond reminded me of a Japanese screen.

Dragonflies were using the daylilies as vantage points to watch for insect prey.
They always seemed to me like noble warriors of the air . . . slender, alert and
agile.” – Robert Bateman
