The Dragonflies Are All But Gone!

Through the summer I saw lots of dragonflies along the ponds, by the lake and even here at home. Lately, I have seen only one. I liked how this one was posed on the angles of a fork in the tree.

We had a pretty sunny day today, but it was the first morning that caused a bit of ice on the windshield. So it got below freezing, for a short time anyway. That isn't unusual for this time of year.
