July Dragonfly

The dragonflies have been patrolling our yard.  This one seems to be a regular.  I'll have to look up what kind it is--they're common in this end of the valley--it's probably a flame skimmer.  

The cats haven't been in the yard much because of the dog.  However, they're venturing into it more and more, which will probably make things harder for the small flying creatures that have had a cat-free spring.
