Not much happening today. Going to a friend's for a holiday weekend celebration just after I push myself away from the computer. I offer one from the CrabAppleLane backyard today. It's been done here but I never tire of it.

Nice shot! Dragonflies are one of the few bugs I can tolerate. They used to land on me when I'd float down the river in San Marcos, TX.
Gladiator would probably be in my top five movies if I made a list.
Thanks, Kim. I like them, too, mainly because they eat the other insects I'm not wild about like mosquitoes and gnats.
I watched Gladiator for the first time last night. Better than I expected.
Very nice picture. :)
What a gorgeous dragonfly and you were lucky to get the snap of it. I'm terrible with those. I'm getting better at birds though :)
