On a hot sunny day in June a dragonfly was making the rounds around the neighborhood. Flittering hither and yon, dodging the Barn Swallows while on the lookout for tasty mosquitoes. Spotting a watering hole in Solly's yard, the dragonfly perched atop a garden pole, put on his best smile, filled with the hope of attracting other bugs for the purpose of consuming them.

There was one in front of the house when we came home from the movies around 1 PM.
