Suddenly Summer

After turning cool yesterday, summer's returned today, with only a few white clouds in a deep blue, clear sky. We even sat out for a short time, though elderly Aunt S cannot sit for long, anywhere. Pegged out a wash-load, though, while the warmth remained.

My reward was spotting this dragonfly on the top of the fence. It flew off and returned repeatedly to its nice warm spot. As far as I can tell it's a Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum). Please correct me if I'm wrong, odonatists!
