Many of the older plots at Magnolia Cemetery have wrought iron fences marking their borders.

In mid October one dragonfly made use of this one as a perch, perhaps enjoying its position in the full sun now that autumn is with us.

He flew off as I approached and changed my angle, returning  to a nearby finial after each foray.

A wider view shows that time has taken its toll on parts of this fence.
