A Forest Preserve in a City

We're spending the weekend in a forest preserve in the greater metropolitan area of Chicago. My son lives in nearby Naperville and we had a wonderful time visiting with him and his family. There were several types of dragonflies that were new to me and we were parked right next to a mulberry tree that had a wide variety of visiting birds. We won't have electricity or an internet connection tonight so I may not be able to process or post for a day or two.

Lloyd and Sandy Spitalnik identified this as the male Common Whitetail dragonfly.

Beautiful capture of this perfect dragonfly.

Beautiful shot. There must be about a million different kinds of these!

Amazing shot... the DF blends into the background so well, yet you have made it stand out !
