And yes...he's in the same tree as last year's LOL (though he tried several other perches too)
@CrawliesWithCri Congratulations! We have only one spot in Lake County Illinois where Ebony Jewelwings spend their summer. I wait for their arrival in early summer and visit frequently taking a million photos. Jewelwings are the most beautiful of all dragonflies.
@CrawliesWithCri Beautiful shot @CrawliesWithCri
