Dragonfly Day at the Pond

You never know when a "nature" moment might present itself, but today was one of those days.  Dragonflies!!!  We aren't sure if it was a feeding frenzie or mating day, but there were so many dragonflies over the pond and so many sorts of varieties.   Each seemed to love to rest on little bamboo stakes I have for some plants.
