We spent our Independence Day afternoon at my sister’s beautiful new home in Atascadero. We lounged in the pool for awhile, played with the dogs and enjoyed some fine outdoor cooking.

If you look really close at this photo, you can see an orange dragonfly sitting on one of the plants. Don’t see it? Click here for help.

Chela showed some patriotic flare with this red, white and blue bandana.
We had a great time today. See more photos and some videos on my Flickr account.

The two photos above are really great. The dog is really cute. I’ll assume that they’re trying to grow grass so they’ll have something to cut with the new lawn mower, LOL.

They did clear that whole area of grass/weeds after they moved in. It’ll probably grow ever again, eventually.
