I don't know the name of this specific dragonfly, but I suspect it's Bob. He looks like a Bob to me. Looking at some guides, I believe Bob more properly goes by the name of Widow Skimmer.
There are always plenty of dragonflies and damselflies to be found around the pond, along the streams and in the field at the farm during the warm months. And, given the right light at the right angle, their colors are just brilliant.

Monarch Butterfly
Resting atop the Butterfly flower, blooming brightly in the warm days at the end of June.
How do these guys ever make it to Mexico?
"Four to five generations separate the monarch populations that make the migration, so the butterflies that make the trek to Mexico are the great, great grandchildren of the previous generation to have made it."
Amazing.
