Our dragonfly friend had an injured wing. The kids decided to let him onto a twig and place him in the grass, out of the way of cars in the parking lot where we found him. :)

Lots of fat little minnows hanging out too.

Windy day - short rain earlier in the day. Overcast, but still warming up. Hot and sunny yesterday.
