Picture of the Day for June 20, 2018

I saw a lot of dragonflies today darting back and forth on the road instead of by the pond, but I think the bright yellow of the Birds-foot Trefoil, which is lining many road banks, may be attracting them to the road edges. The Twelve-spotted Skimmer gets its name from the three dark spots on each wing, but for some reason, the white spots are ignored in the count.
