It's a Dragonfly Kind of Day

To truly enjoy the beautiful weather we had today, I went for a bike ride.  I've been seeing this for a few weeks now on my way to and from work, and I fnally was able to snap a picture of it at the end of the bike ride. It's painted on a piece of slate, and has a protective gloss coating over it, and has been bolted to this pine tree. 
After eating lunch in the sun on the front porch, I wanted to find a way to continue enjoying the loveliness of the day, so I decided to go ahead and make this, which I had been planning to do for a while.  Note: plywood and Heineken caps are not the easiest to nail through.  The caps have rubber undersides and plywood is a much harder wood than I realized.  
If the weather cooperates, and it did today, I build my metal sculptures on my back patio where I have a little table I work on.
